Linux – Can anybody recommend an HTTP debugging proxy

gnomehttp-logginghttp-proxylinux

I would like something that allows me to:

Inspect all HTTP(S) traffic between my computer and the Internet, including 127.0.0.1
Modify incoming or outgoing data
It would also be nice if it had a scripting subsystem for setting rules and events
I prefer it be a GUI application.

Please do not answer with WireShark. I am aware of WireShark and I have used it many many times and it's a great app. I would like something that restricts it's captures to the application layer and HTTP(S) traffic only and ignores the other Internet Protocol Suite layers. Also, it doesn't have some of the features I listed above.

Centos – yum proxy http errors

I had the same issue, here's what worked for me:

Open the global proxy configuration file /etc/syconfig/proxy and add the following line:

HTTP_PROXY="http://myusername:mypassword@myproxy.example.com:8080"

EDIT: UPDATE You also need to add authentication details to the yum configuration file here: /etc/yum.conf

# The proxy server - proxy server:port number
proxy=http://mycache.mydomain.com:3128
# The account details for yum connections
proxy_username=yum-user
proxy_password=qwerty

Linux – How to passively capture from Unix domain sockets (AF_UNIX socket monitoring)

I wrote a tool to capture and dump unix domain socket traffic. It uses bpf/kprobe to probe kernel function unix_stream_sendmsg and dump traffic to user space.

The tool depends on bcc, so you need to install bcc first.

An example run:

$ sudo ./sockdump.py /var/run/docker.sock # run "docker ps" in another terminal
>>> docker[3412] len 83
GET /_ping HTTP/1.1
Host: docker
User-Agent: Docker-Client/18.06.1-ce (linux)

>>> dockerd[370] len 215
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Api-Version: 1.38
Docker-Experimental: false
Ostype: linux
Server: Docker/18.06.1-ce (linux)
