Configuring the local validator to use an HTTP proxy

Nov 282010

The BrowserMob Local Validator is a great tool to help you create and debug scripts on your own desktop. Because the script runs on your own computer, you get to see the browser work through the script right in front of your eyes.

Sometimes customers wish to run the the validation tool through an HTTP proxy. For example, if you can’t make outbound HTTP requests without using a proxy because of your firewall, you won’t be able to use the Local Validator until you configure it to use a proxy.

Sep 232009

We are happy to announce BrowserMob Proxy a new open source tool for simulating network conditions.

Some early functionality:

  • It can slow down network traffic, effectively simulating what a low-bandwidth user might experience.
  • It can also easily intercept certain HTTP requests (via regular expression), allowing you to mock out unexpected results, such as 500 response codes, long delays is responses, or even unexpected content.

Please visit the main page to sign up for the mailing list, we’d love to get more people involved in the project.You can also go to the  Git project page, where you can check out the source code and report bugs.
