This guide walks through capturing a third‑party QR‑code login flow with Charles, converting the captured requests to cURL, analyzing them in Apifox, and reproducing the entire process to embed external platform authentication into a custom web and mobile application.
This tutorial walks you through using Charles on macOS to capture and manipulate HTTP and HTTPS traffic for both PC and mobile devices, covering proxy configuration, SSL handling, breakpoints, throttling, DNS spoofing, request rewriting, remote/local redirection, and basic stress testing.
This guide explains why Charles combined with Postern is preferred for Android app packet capture, details the required environment, step‑by‑step configuration of Charles and Postern, SSL proxy setup, certificate installation and migration, and compares the solution with Fiddler.
The article walks through the author's investigation of why a Node.js CLI tool using Got fails to route HTTPS requests through Charles, compares direct proxy versus reverse‑proxy strategies, and provides a step‑by‑step implementation using https‑proxy‑agent and Got with certificate verification disabled, enabling successful request capture.
Learn how to configure Charles and the Postern VPN tool to intercept Android app traffic, including environment setup, proxy configuration, SSL certificate handling, and a comparison with Fiddler, enabling reliable packet capture even when apps disable proxy settings.
This guide explains why Charles fails to install its macOS proxy helper, shows the problematic launch daemon plist, and provides step‑by‑step instructions to locate, edit, and restore the correct configuration so the proxy works again.
This guide compares five popular packet‑capture tools—Wireshark, Tcpdump, Charles, and mitmproxy—explaining their strengths, weaknesses, installation steps, filter syntax, and best‑use scenarios for developers and testers needing efficient network debugging.
This tutorial explains how to use Charles Proxy's Map and Breakpoint features to permanently or temporarily redirect network requests and edit server responses, enabling more comprehensive testing of special scenarios.
This guide explains how to install Charles, configure an iPhone proxy, capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic, set breakpoints, modify requests, repeat calls, and simulate network conditions, providing a comprehensive workflow for iOS network debugging and performance testing.
This article explains what weak network testing is, why it matters for mobile applications, its impact on user experience and bug rates, and introduces common tools and step‑by‑step procedures for simulating low‑bandwidth, high‑latency, and packet‑loss conditions.
This guide explains how to install and configure Charles to simulate slow or high‑latency mobile networks, including enabling throttling, selecting presets, and restricting throttling to specific hosts for effective app performance testing.
