Principle

Fiddler works in the form of a proxy web server. The proxy address it uses is 127.0.0.1 and the port number is 8888. This is the default port of fiddler, that is, the requests we send will go through fiddler, like this, fiddlerYou can capture the package.
It should be noted that if fiddler exits abnormally, other web pages will be inaccessible. This is because fiddler does not log out automatically, which will not happen when fiddler is closed normally.

• mock: do not modify any environment, modify the returned result
