Neat HTTP Debugger

seen over a colleague’s shoulder today - the shareware ‘Charles’ debugger, with a curious name and even odder splash-screen showing a painted antique milk jug?!

Anyway, in functional terms it looks very nice. It’s a small proxy server that sits between your browser and webapp and takes lots of notes - on cookies, content lengths, request and response heades, etc. and will spit them out into a CSV file for you to look at in your spreadsheet program. It also looks to support bandwidth throttling capabilities, both presets based on popular modem specs, and customisations. Could be very useful in tracking all the chatter between an ajax app and its server.

No more time to investigate it today, but it looked neat. You can download the evaluation copy from here.
