how to configure fiddler to monitor wcf calls to a wcf services hosted in IISExpress

situation:

my website (which contains the WCF service) is hosted in IISExpres port number 58366 (http://localhost:58366/myapp)

I have a winforms client which connects to the wcf service using BasicHttpBinding

I want to debug my wcf calls using fiddler, but can't seem find how to redirect wcf calls through fiddler.

IISExpress idiotically binds to the hostname "localhost", not just to the port, so conventional workarounds as with adding a dot to the hostname don't work. Solution seems to be here. Note the last part of the selected answer: Use "localhost.fiddler" and Fiddler will emit "localhost" when proxying.

Rick Strahl has a good article on this here: http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2009/Jan/14/Monitoring-HTTP-Output-with-Fiddler-in-NET-HTTP-Clients-and-WCF-Proxies

Pretty sure a winforms app will usually pick up the default system proxy as set by fiddler. Are you operating on localhost? Try connecting to your machine name.
