In active development. It's in experiment state now
This app helps to setup AutoProxy configuration for developemnt purpose. When you work with some proxy and have to validate traffic quite often it really annoying to reconfigure a device to use proxy when needed and when not to.
To make life a bit easier we can use Proxy Auto-Config. But problem with it is that most of http clients expect it to be on some server and response from that server should have proper headers, hence we can't use just a file on local machine. Also Different devices require different proxy config time by time.
This app can solve the issue above. It's simple http server which now start serve on specified port and return correct Auto-Config based on query parameters.
Run the server:
AutoProxy run --port 8081
If you want to see logs:
AutoProxy run -l --port 8081
For exanple, request to http://localhost:8081?host=localhost&port=8080 will return
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
return "PROXY localhost:8080; DIRECT";
}
You can skip host parameter if it has the same value as the domain. For example this http://localhost:8081?host=localhost&port=8080 will return the same config as one above
Which means that when proxy on localhost:8080 is available a client will try use it, but when you turn it off it will bypass proxy and use direct connections.
From emulator you can always refer to host machine with ip 10.0.2.2. Usual link for Auto-Proxy config on Android will looks like http://10.0.2.2:8081/?port=8080
As an experiment, when you specify parametere all=false Auto-Config file will respond only to requests from Android Emulator and iOS simulator. So you can serf Netwrok on your development machine without proxy and at the same time monitor traffic from Android/iOS virtual device.
Currently the app has prebuild version for Mac only.
