![]() To add new, click the “+” button at the bottom left corner of the window The Breakpoint rules window then pops-up so that you can define all matching conditions here. These conditions could be setup by two ways: Option 1: Menu barįrom Menu bar -> select Tools -> Breakpoint -> Rules Now it’s time to define how Breakpoint captures out-going requests or in-coming responses. To be more focused, I use Pin to isolate two endpoints /me & /search for my testing scenarios. Install Proxyman Certificate on remote deviceīefore we start, let’s install Proxyman Certificate on my iOS device so that we are able to see HTTPs content Example 2: Change user name and avatar in the Response to see if the UI can handle long messages (Modify response)Ģ.Example 1: Change user’s search query to see how the app behaves (Modify request). ![]() In this mini blog, just take 2 simple examples to see how Breakpoint works: Thus, you can modify such requests/ responses to test UI errors or certain back end functionalities (including security vulnerabilities). Enable Breakpoint for response, it will stop the response before it goes to your app.Enable Breakpoint for request: Proxyman will stop the request before it goes to your server.In software development, a breakpoint is known as an intentional stopping or pausing place where you can examine, edit API requests or responses and even decide whether to block it or allow it to proceed. On the next post, I’ll compare some key features between Charles’s and Proxyman’s and what I think about the pros and cons of these 2 apps.This mini blog demonstrates how I use Proxyman Breakpoint tool to manipulate those API calls for debugging purposes. Meanwhile, Proxyman is not fully-developed yet, but it seems to have many potentials. It is a powerful debugging app, but somehow it doesn’t fit me. If you are a tester or front-end developer, the odds are that you have been familiar with debugging tools like Charles. I can open my Response content to edit, which I found pretty convenient. When I click to that, the app reveals some Editing tools that I am currently using. There is a small button on the top right corner. However, to see content of a Response, you will need to Enable domain and Reload the request. If you double click a request, you would see the Request and Response on the right panel. I find it pretty useful to organize and focus, especially when I have to work with several applications, domains. I can Drag, Drop a specific domain into Pin section. This is one of interesting features of this app. I searched for app Unsplash with Command+Shift+F (You can also search the app using Search bar) It’s time to actually see HTTP requests/ responses coming from Unsplash app You can see that all my iPhone’s requests showed up after I finished configuring proxy Thus, final step is go to Setting App -> General -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings -> Turn ON “Enable full trust for root certificates” It is said that since the iOS 10.3+, we need to trust certificate manually. Then go to Setting -> General -> Profile -> Select Proxyman -> Install On my iPhone, I go to Safari -> -> Accept permission for installing Proxyman Certificate However, in order to see content of Responses, I will need to install Proxyman Certificate Then I used the same Server and Port on Guideline to configure Proxy on my iPhoneġ.4/ Allow permission to install ProxymanĪt this step, I saw all requests coming from my device on Proxyman app. Go to Setting -> Wifi -> (Select current Wifi) -> Configure Proxy -> Manual. There would be an instruction to guide you how to configure certificate on iPhone/ iOS Simulator Then go to Certificate -> Install Certificate on iPhone Device. The UI is pretty clean and I can see all the requests coming right after opening the app I downloaded the newest version from its website In this post, I used the app to see Response content from Unsplash app on my device. It is a native macOS app and its features are so handy for debugging that I really want to share with others. Last month, I’ve found a newly developed application called Proxyman.
