Proxy Terminal

When sending HTTP(s) requests or executing scripts in the command line, the traffic of these requests will not pass through Reqable. The developer must to manually configure the environment variables (such as HTTP_PROXY) in the terminal, or specify the proxy address in the source code. Although these methods can work, but inefficient.

In addition, many network libs do not trust the CA certificates installed by the system. After setting up the debugging proxy, the request will still report an error, such as Python's requests.

Reqable can start a terminal with one click and automatically configure the proxy environment and solve the CA certificate trust issue.

This feature is available in version v2.26.0+.

How to use

HTTP(s) requests in the terminal can be intercepted by Reqable and displayed in the traffic list.
