Interesting data from a HTTP researcher. Key points on minimizing upload time by keeping cookies small, etc.

Eric, just wanted to praise your HTTP debugging tool fiddler. It's made my life much easier in debugging anything on the web. I even use it notoriously with Flash since I can't see what's going on behind the scenes.

One question and I hope you don't mind, why JScript? Do you honestly find it easier to use for this type of tool? Because I come from a C# world and I'm starting to get into the Fiddler scripting code to make it do what I need but I feel it could have been more accessable to people had c# been used. Just a thought, regardless the tool is great.

JScript was chosen because the JScript engine was really easy to consume in .NET 1.1. In the future, I expect I'll switch to use ICodeCompiler and hence any .NET language can be used.

Note that you can already use C# as described here: http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/dev/UsingCSharp.asp
