Protoscope, an HTTP proxy for inspecting and debugging HTTP

Requirements

• PHP

Usage

To start the proxy:

./protoscope.php

Configure your browser of choice to use an HTTP proxy. By default, Protoscope binds to 127.0.0.1 on port 4887.

Browse the Web, and your HTTP requests are shown to you at the bottom of each page. This is useful for debugging a number of issues, including session problems, caching problems, etc. HTTP traffic is also sent to stdout, which you can send to a log file if you want by starting the proxy as follows:

./protoscope.php > /tmp/protoscope.log

This is a work in progress. If you don't know what you're doing, you probably don't want to use it.

Known Issues

The following issues will be addressed in future releases:

• No support for tunneling, so no SSL.
• No embed support for chunked encoding.
