Charles Proxy vs mitmproxy
Developers should use Charles Proxy when they need to debug network issues, analyze API calls, or test the behavior of web and mobile applications under different network conditions meets developers should learn mitmproxy for debugging api calls, testing mobile or web applications, and analyzing security vulnerabilities in network communications. Here's our take.
Charles Proxy
Developers should use Charles Proxy when they need to debug network issues, analyze API calls, or test the behavior of web and mobile applications under different network conditions
Charles Proxy
Nice PickDevelopers should use Charles Proxy when they need to debug network issues, analyze API calls, or test the behavior of web and mobile applications under different network conditions
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for inspecting HTTPS traffic (with SSL proxying), simulating slow network speeds to test app performance, and modifying requests/responses on-the-fly for testing edge cases
- +Related to: http-debugging, api-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
mitmproxy
Developers should learn mitmproxy for debugging API calls, testing mobile or web applications, and analyzing security vulnerabilities in network communications
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for reverse-engineering APIs, simulating network conditions, and automating traffic analysis in development and QA environments
- +Related to: http-proxy, network-analysis
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Charles Proxy if: You want it is particularly valuable for inspecting https traffic (with ssl proxying), simulating slow network speeds to test app performance, and modifying requests/responses on-the-fly for testing edge cases and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use mitmproxy if: You prioritize it's particularly useful for reverse-engineering apis, simulating network conditions, and automating traffic analysis in development and qa environments over what Charles Proxy offers.
