HTTP debugging proxy for Linux and Mac [closed]

Answer 1

There are a number of Chrome store apps now. I'm using DHC by Restlet now.

Answer 2

Another option is something that doesn't require a desktop app. Runscope is a "cloud" based proxy that let's you debug requests. It can't capture requests on localhost or internal networks, but if you're debugging apps or third-party API integrations over the public internet, it can help.

(Disclaimer, I'm one of the founders.)

Answer 3

Burp Proxy

Betwixt - based on Chrome DevTools interface

Some additional options located on Ask Ubuntu.

Answer 4

You can also try Proxy.app by Websecurify. It is 100% native, available from the Mac App Store.

Answer 5

Paros works like a charm for me on my Ubuntu Jaunty x64. Just as simple as download, run, set proxy settings in browser to localhost:8080 and you are ready to inspect your http browsing.

It is Java so it works on Windows, Linux and Mac.

I prefer this to firefox plugin because I can use it with different browsers and software.

ParosProxy download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/paros/

Paros hasn't been updated for many years. However there is an actively maintained fork of Paros - the OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP): https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Zed_Attack_Proxy_Project

Answer 6

Mitmproxy is a useful command-line proxy tool.

It has also an user UI.

• From the command line run mitmweb
• Set up your app to use a proxy server and point it at http://127.0.0.1:8080
• Go to http://127.0.0.1:8081 to see all the requests in the "flow" tab. Very similar to the Google Chrome Console "Network" tab.
