crabtrap v0.2.3

Crabtrap Proxy

Crabtrap is an http proxy that can capture and replay requests.

It was originally developed to help with testing web crawlers in the Crabfarm project.

Features:

• Records SSL requests (using a self signed certificate).
• When in replay mode, it uses smart url/content matching to serve the proper response.
• Allows serving assets in a local folder at the crabtrap.io mock domain.

Usage:

To record every passing requests, first start the proxy:

crabtrap capture ./somefile

then configure your browser's proxy to use localhost:4000 and navigate.

When you are done, terminate the proxy process with Ctrl-C or TERM signal

To start replay mode use:

crabtrap replay ./somefile

The proxy will use the capture file to respond recorded requests (other requests will produce a 404 response)

To get more help on usage use

crabtrap -h
