Info
Charles is a web debug proxy that allows a developer to view all HTTP and SSL/HTTPS traffic between their machine and the internet. This includes deep dives into requests, responses, headers, TLS information, compression and performance, and binary protocols like Protobuf for both HTTP 1.1 and 2. Charles is perfect for debugging and measuring your web or mobile app's API requests and responses. Charles' Characteristics The following characteristics are what I believe to be the core characteristics of Charles. The best way to discover these features and others is to download a free trial. SSL Proxying Charles acts as the man in the middle for HTTP/SSL communication, allowing you to debug the content of your HTTPS sessions. Bandwidth Throttling Charles simulates modem speeds by effectively throttling your bandwidth and introducing latency, so you can experience an entire website the same way a modem user would (bandwidth simulator). AJAX Charles is useful for AJAX (Asynchronous javascript and XML) and XML development in web browsers like XMLHTTP because it allows you to see the actual XML flowing between client and server. Charles natively supports JSON, JSON-RPC, and SOAP; displays each in a simplified tree format for easy viewing and debugging. Flash Charles is great for Adobe Flash developers because you can view the contents of LoadVariables, LoadMovie, and XML payloads. Charles also has native support for Flash Remoting (AMF0 and AMF3). Browser and System Configuration Before any browser (or any application) can use Charles, it must be configured to use Charles as a proxy server. Most browsers have a way to configure this manually, but configuring manually is annoying because you have to configure and reconfigure every time you start and stop Charles. Fortunately, Charles can automatically configure proxy settings in many situations, including: Windows / Internet Explorer proxy settings – used automatically by most Windows applications Windows Proxy Settings Charles can automatically configure Windows proxy settings, so Internet Explorer and other Windows applications automatically start using Charles. By default, Charles will configure and then reconfigure Windows proxy settings each time Charles is started or exited. Charles proxy configuration behavior can be changed in Charles in the Proxy Menu, Proxy Settings dialog. Windows proxy settings are configured on the Connections tab in the Internet Options control panel, if you want to look at them yourself. Microsoft Edge has an additional setting that you may need to make by browsing to about:flags and enabling Allow localhost loopback. This is required to connect to Charles Proxy running on localhost.
