How to use the Charles program?
What program can you use to monitor traffic between your computer and the Internet? Probably one of the most suitable programs for these purposes is the Charles program. This program is a web proxy server and can be downloaded from our website. Let's briefly figure out how to work with this program. First of all, it is worth noting that the Charles program works with Mozilla Firefox browser. That is, you need to install this browser. Then you need to install the program itself. There should be no problems with the installation, since it is no different from the installations of other programs. After installation, you can start working with the Charles program.
The Charles program can stop or start traffic recording. To do this, you need to use the program button called "Start/Stop Recording". It is located on the program toolbar and visually represents a white circle with a dot.
Many users who have used this program may not see Gateway folders. In other words, the Charles program does not display the connection to the server you need. This can happen if you accidentally added this server to the ignore list. To check this you need to go to the menu "proxy", then to the menu "Recording Settings". Here check the availability of the server in the "Ignore Hosts".
If the server you need is here, then you need to delete it. This can be done using the button "remove". It is worth noting here that many users, when faced with this error, reinstall the program. But in this case, reinstallation does not solve anything and the server, if it is ignored, will still not be visible.
If you need to edit a specific query in Charles, it's not that difficult to do. To do this, in the list of requests that opens (opens automatically after launch), you will need to right-click on the desired line and select "Edit". Once you have made the necessary changes, look for and click the "Run". After this, the request will be sent to the server.
The Charles program can also intercept requests from the servers you need. To do this, you need to right-click on the server folder, and then in the window that appears, select "breakpoints". After that, look in the program toolbar and click on the item "Enable/Disable Breakpoints"(looks like a red hexagon).
Now the program will stop all requests associated with this server. You can manage and edit requests using the " buttonRun". It is also worth noting here that requests outgoing from your computer to the server will be displayed in the program as red arrows pointing up, and incoming requests will have an arrow pointing down.
In fact, the Charles program is suitable for a wide audience of users. Some people use this program for dishonest purposes, for example, hacking browser games, while others actually analyze traffic with the program. Therefore, it is impossible to describe instructions for working with the program for each case. In principle, it is precisely everything that has been described that causes difficulties for most users. You can figure out everything else yourself. Even though the Charles program has an English-language interface, you can understand it, since its interface is quite clear. You can download the program absolutely free v lyubom browser.
