#### 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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

Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.

The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command:

```
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
```

Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended:

```
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
