Developer Web Proxy

Tags:

proxy

I need a proxy for web development debugging. Preferably something standalone so I can use it with both IE and Firefox. The one I have used so far is CharlesProxy but I was hoping to find a free one. Anyone know of a good one?

What is a proxy in web development?

A proxy server is an intermediate program or computer used when navigating through different networks of the Internet. They facilitate access to content on the World Wide Web.

What is HTTP web proxy?

A proxy server acts as a gateway between users and the internet and prevents access to anyone outside the network. Regular internet access via a web browser enables users to connect directly with websites. But a proxy acts as an intermediary, which communicates with webpages on users' behalf.

fiddler perhaps? IE goes through it automatically if its running, you have to tell FF to go through 127.0.0.1:8888 (might be wrong about port num, but its in the docs)

Oh yes, and you can also use it to generate http requests :-)
