Using HTTP Proxy
HTTP Proxy allows you to submit standard and altered requests to the server, and to intercept and submit responses from the server back to the browser.
Before attempting to submit a request, configure your browser for HTTP Proxy features. See Configuring Browsers.
Submitting Requests and Responses
The status of the request determines what actions you may perform; see Message Table to learn more.
- To submit a request to the server: select a Held Request row (Res column is empty in the Message Table) and click Submit Request.
- To submit a response back to the browser: select a row in the Message Table with any Res icon and a Req icon that shows that the browser is still open and then click Submit Response.
- To clear the response and allow the request to be re-submitted, click Clear Response. If the connection to the server is closed, a new connection is created when you click Submit Request.
- You may also load a saved request to submit. See Loading and Saving Requests for details.
- When you send a request or forward a response to your browser, you can select the operating mode that determines how HTTP Proxy will handle the transaction. See Setting Operating Modes for details.
