Auto Create a debugging rule with the right menu-context

When creating a Map Local rule, we can quickly create a rule by right-clicking on the Request -> Tools -> Map Local.

By doing this way, a new Map Local tool will create a Local File from its Response. Therefore, we can easily modify the Response Status Code, Headers, and Body.

The URL matching of the rule is formed by the Request's URL.

It works with Breakpoint, Scripting, Black List, White List, Map Local, Network Throttling, ...

Map Local

Reorder & Resize Columns

Since Proxyman uses NSTableView from macOS, so it has all built-in functionality from macOS TableView, such as Resize and Reorder the Column.

  • To resize the column, move the cursor to the edge of the column and resize
  • To reorder the column, click on hold the cursor on the column header, then moving to left and right.

Additionally, Proxyman persists the state of all columns, so the layout remains.

Click on Tools Badge on the bottom bar to quickly open the window

To quickly open the running debugging tools, we can simply click on the Tool Badge on the Bottom Bar. It will open the corresponding Tool Window.
