Issue with using Fiddler as a Proxy

Question

I'm starting to add built-in support for StackOver to the OWASP O2 Platform, and just noticed that there is an issue with using the C# API with Fiddler.

It seems that the problem happens when Fiddler is set to 'AutoDecode' the incoming streams.

For reference, here is the script I have so far and the error details (note that I'm using O2's development environment)

• Using this script to search for 'Owasp' in SO via the API:

panel.clear();

var soApi = new API_StackOverflow();    
var tagged = new List<string>();
var notTagger = new List<string>();
var  sort = "";
var order = ""; 
return ApiProxy.SearchQuestions("Owasp",tagged,notTagger,sort,order); 
//using TheWorldsWorst.ApiWrapper
//O2File:C:\O2\_XRules_Local\API_StackOverflow\API_StackOverflow.cs

• with at the moment consumes just a stub (the extra dll and source references allow me to dynamically compile and consume the C# API)

using TheWorldsWorst.ApiWrapper;
//O2Dir:C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\StackOverflow_API\theworldsworststackoverflowclone\TheWorldsWorstApiWrapper
//O2Ref:System.dll
//O2Ref:System.Core.dll
//O2Ref:System.Data.dll
//O2Ref:System.Data.DataSetExtensions.dll
//O2Ref:System.RunTime.Serialization.dll
//O2Ref:System.ServiceModel.Web.dll
//O2Ref:System.Web.dll
//O2Ref:System.Xml.dll
//O2Ref:System.Xml.Linq.dll

namespace O2.XRules.Database.APIs
{
    public class API_StackOverflow
    {    
     public ApiProxy SOProxy { get; set; }

public API_StackOverflow() { SOProxy = new ApiProxy(); } } }

• and after making this simple modification in the ApiProxy.cs file so that I get the errors directly in O2:

... inside ApiProxy.cs in method public static string GetUrl(string path)

    catch (WebException ex)
    {
        try
        {
            ex.log("[SOAPI] in ApiProxy.cs GetUrl");      //send errors to O2
            using (var stream = ex.Response.GetResponseStream())
            {
                var resp = ReadResponse(stream);
                var errWrap = ReadObject<Error>(resp);
                var err = ReadSingleField(errWrap) as Error;
                ErrorCode = err.Code.ToString();
            }
        }
    catch (Exception ex2)
    {
        ex2.log("[SOAPI] in ApiProxy.cs GetUrl");       //send errors to O2
        ErrorCode = "Unknown";
    }
}
catch (Exception ex3)
{
    ex3.log("[SOAPI] in ApiProxy.cs GetUrl");       //send errors to O2
    ErrorCode = "Unknown";
}

• I get the following error (answer is in the final line):
