Once enabled, re-executing these requests would allow me to inspect their contents. Because the request is made using HTTPS, I need to explicitly enable SSL proxying for either a specific host, or all requests made by, in this case, the Proxyman app. In the screenshot below, I’ve selected all traffic made by the Proxyman app in the left hand sidebar, and I’ve selected one of the requests in the main section to see more details. There is a caveat though if the request is performed over HTTPS you won’t see anything just yet. You can also see the response for a given request. Like for example the request headers, body, and more. When you click on one of the requests, you can see some details about the request. This means that you can see any app or website’s network traffic in Proxyman. This is all of the traffic that your Mac is sending and receiving in real-time.
#Mac http sniffer install#
You can safely accept all of Proxyman’s defaults and install the helper tool.Īfter setting everything up, you should immediately see network traffic appear in Proxyman’s main window. When you first launch Proxyman, it will prompt you for some setup steps and eventually Proxyman will want to install a helper tool. Once you’ve downloaded Proxyman, install it by opening the dmg and dragging the app to your Applications folder.
#Mac http sniffer license#
After that you can continue the last version that became available during the year, or buy a new license for another year of updates. Luckily, a single license is valid forever and entitles you to a year of free updates. However, Proxyman isn’t a free app and if you want to use all its features you’ll need to purchase a license.
#Mac http sniffer download#
The download for Proxyman is free, and the free version of the app is perfectly usable to explore and learn about debugging your app through a proxy.
You can do this right here on their website. To use Proxyman, you must first download and install it. Over time I’ve come to prefer Proxyman for debugging because it’s a nicer app and it’s just a bit easier to set up. 💡 Tip: I’ve written a similar post to this one about Charles Proxy that you can read here. In this post, I will show you how you can gain insight into the requests that your app sends to the server as well as see the responses that the server sends to your app. Especially when you’re dealing with setting HTTP headers and/or multipart form requests. When the response you receive is wrong, or not quite what you expected, you’ll want to take a look at the data you’ve sent to the server to make sure you’re not sending it bad data. However, a large response will be hard to read in Xcode’s console so you might have to paste it elsewhere, like in a JSON validator.
The most simple method would be to convert the data that I’ve fetched from the server to a String and printing it. But when I notice that things don’t work quite as expected, it’s time to start digging in and debug my network calls. When this all works well, everything is great.
