SSL Debugging with Firefox?
In this tutorial, we would share how we quickly capture HTTPS requests from Product Hunt page via Firefox Browser.
From there, we can achieve several following tasks:
- Quickly filter the request
- See the HTTP/HTTPS request and message in a prettier format
- Quickly change the param and test the production.
1. Proxyman
Proxyman is a Web Debugging Proxy and exclusively built for macOS. Basically, it can help you (developers) to debug out-going HTTP/HTTPS requests easily than looking via Console Inspector.
You can quickly download Proxyman
- from homepage
- or execute
brew cask install proxyman
Then, we have to install the Proxyman Certificate via Certificate Menu -> Install Certificate on this mac...
and following the automation steps to install the certificate in a second.
 in Firefox, trust and install the certificate properly
- If you don't see any Firefox request on Proxyman or couldn't access to proxy.man/ssl, please double-check the Firefox Proxy Setting in Preference.
The simple solution is that we select System Proxy Setting
3. Open https://www.producthunt.com in Firefox
