Mac Http Proxy App



Introduction

Mac Http Proxy app

This document describes the procedure used in order to capture HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) traffic with the Macintosh(Mac) program Charles proxy.

Go to proxy tab, and set your proxy settings as shown in the image. Notice the.college-domain-here.com in the 'Bypass proxy' section below: you can specify those domains here, for which you don't need a proxy server to access. Remember to set HTTP, HTTPS, and whatever other proxies you need - all of them. The most popular Mac alternative is Charles. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try mitmproxy or OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP). If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked 44 alternatives to Fiddler and many of them are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement.
