> I'll examine the website in Fiddler

Isn't that overkill compared to just using the built-in browser devtools Network tab?

I find the Fiddler UI easy to use, plus you can add plugins such as converting the request straight to code. Up to you what tool you use of course.

Both Firefox and Chrome have a Copy As Curl feature which is really useful. I agree with you though, the UI sucks.
