#### Recording web proxy - structure view, throttling, Map Local/Remote, repeat

Web Traffic Inspector is a Linux alternative to Charles Proxy. It runs a real
local recording proxy (default 127.0.0.1:8889) and shows every request that
passes through it.

FEATURES:

* Structure view: a tree grouped by host and URL path with request counts,
  bytes, average duration and error counts, plus a sequence list and full
  request/response details (headers, decoded bodies, timings).
* Bandwidth throttling: real token-bucket rate limiting of download and
  upload bytes plus added latency, applied to proxied HTTP traffic and to
  HTTPS CONNECT tunnels. Presets (56k, DSL, 3G, 4G) or custom values, with a
  live graph of the measured throughput.
* Map Local: answer matching URLs with a local file or folder.
* Map Remote: redirect matching requests (or tunnels) to another host/port.
* Repeat: send a request N times (optionally concurrently) and get min / avg
  / median / p95 / max / standard deviation, requests per second and a
  status histogram.
* Export sessions to CSV and HAR 1.2; export repeat results to CSV.
* HTTPS is tunnelled (host and byte counts only) unless you enable SSL
  proxying, which uses a local CA generated with the openssl binary and only
  works in clients where you import and trust that CA. HTTP/1.1 only.

Configure your browser or set http\_proxy / https\_proxy to the proxy address;
the app does not change system proxy settings. Responses are buffered before
forwarding; WebSocket upgrades are not supported.
