Answer 1

This solution is valid for Cookie based authentication:

If you want to test the API/url which have authentication enabled, please try following, i am showing for MVC web API on IIS server. usually there are more than 1 cookie responsible for authorization, so you may need to send more than 1 cookie in header as follows:

User-Agent: Fiddler Host: localhost:51000 content-Type: application/json Cookie : .ASPXAUTH=xxxxx;ASP.NET_SessionId=yyyy;__RequestVerificationToken=zzzz
