What alternatives are there to Fiddler debugging proxy?

  • 772

I'm looking for a good and famous web debugging proxy that can logs all HTTP(S) traffic. Like a fiddler for Windows. I found that it doesn't work on Ubuntu.

So is there any one for Ubuntu?

    NetTool is a developer tool for monitoring and manipulating application-level network messages, particularly useful for debugging web applications and web services. There are two components to NetTool: the HTTP Client, and the TCP Tunnel.1

    Paros is for web application security assessment. It is free of charge and completely written in Java. Through Paros's proxy nature, all HTTP and HTTPS data between server and client, including cookies and form fields, can be intercepted and modified.2

  3. I find Burp Suite really handy. It is not Open Source but it is written in Java (works everywhere) and it has community edition. Supports HTTPS, other features are called Essential manual tools

    You should also try out Webscarab. WebScarab is a framework for analysing applications that communicate using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

  7. I'm wondering why nobody mentioned good old LiveHTTPHeaders, which is a browser addon available for Firefox and Chrome. It allows you to view and modify http headers.
