HttpTrace

HttpTrace is a s simple tracing HTTP proxy. It is mean to be used as a demo of mitmproxy but it is an actual tool.

How To Install

You need to install this library as a dependency like this:

$ npm install @pureproxy/httptrace

Install the httptrace binary like this:

$ npm install -g @pureproxy/httptrace

How To Use

Simply invoke the tool from the command line:

$ httptrace

To define the default listening port, provide a PORT environment variable:

$ PORT=8888 httptrace

Set the proxy settings to localhost:8888 or localhost:8080 in default configuration. This is how you can do it for command line tools such as curl:

export http_proxy=http://localhost:8080
export https_proxy=http://localhost:8080

All requests and responses that pass through the proxy will be serialised to files in the current work directory.

HttpTrace will cluster. It will start sub-processes up-to the number of CPUs you have. This is prefered for optimal performance.
