#### Local HTTP/HTTPS debugging proxy - capture, rewrite, breakpoints, HAR

HTTP Debug Proxy Inspector is a Linux alternative to Fiddler Classic for
inspecting and debugging web and API traffic. It runs a real local HTTP proxy
(default 127.0.0.1:8888) and logs every request and response that passes
through it.

FEATURES:

* Session list with method, URL, status, body size, timing (connect / wait /
  receive), full request and response headers and bodies (gzip/deflate are
  decoded for viewing, JSON is pretty-printed).
* HTTPS: by default CONNECT requests are tunnelled and only the host, the
  bytes sent/received and the duration are shown - the encrypted content is
  NOT decrypted. Optional HTTPS decryption creates a local CA with the openssl
  binary; it only works for clients where you explicitly import and trust that
  CA certificate (export button provided). HTTP/1.1 only.
* Rules that really modify live traffic: block URL (403), set/remove request
  headers, set response headers, regex replace of request/response bodies,
  override response status.
* Request and response breakpoints: the connection is paused until you edit
  the raw message and resume it, or abort it.
* Composer: build or replay any captured request (directly or through the
  proxy so rules apply).
* Export the captured session to HAR 1.2 JSON.

Point your browser, curl (export http\_proxy / https\_proxy) or any app to the
proxy address. The app does not change system proxy settings for you.
Limitations: WebSocket/Upgrade and HTTP/2 are not proxied in decryption mode;
responses are buffered before they are forwarded (no streaming).

A Linux alternative to Fiddler Classic. Not affiliated with or endorsed by

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install HTTP Debug Proxy Inspector

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```
