HTTP debugging proxy for Linux and Mac [closed]

Question

I use the Fiddler proxy to debug all kinds of HTTP issues on Windows. It's great for inspecting headers and responses across multiple pages.

Is there a good HTTP debugging proxy for Mac and Linux? I found Charles, but it's $50 once the trial runs out and it crashed on me. I could use Wireshark, but it's a pain.

Answer 1

There are a number of Chrome store apps now. I'm using DHC by Restlet now.

Answer 2

Zaproxy, a fork of Paros, is a cross-platform open source debugging proxy and is actively maintained under OWASP.

Answer 3

Burp Proxy

Betwixt - based on Chrome DevTools interface

Some additional options located on Ask Ubuntu.

Answer 4

ZAP 2.4.3 Standard is the finest HTTP debugging proxy for Mac and Linux i can find. I have used Fiddler on windows but for Linux i faced similar problem and during my search i came to know about ZAP. I am using it and it has a very rich user interface.

Answer 5

I personally find Wireshark to be quite easy to use. Just apply a filter for HTTP traffic and right click on the traffic going/coming to/from your site and click "Follow TCP stream".

But, if you want something a little more specific for HTTP debugging I would recommend Firebug http://getfirebug.com/

You can of course, just use Fiddler on a Windows PC and point the Mac/Linux box at it. http://www.fiddlerbook.com/fiddler/help/hookup.asp#Q-NonWindows

You can also run Fiddler in a Windows or Linux virtual machine on the Mac itself: http://blogs.telerik.com/fiddler/posts/14-01-15/running-fiddler-in-virtualbox-on-mac
