On: Charles Proxy now available on iOS

[Operyl]

Wish I could get a more consistent way of intercepting websocket traffic from iOS (specifically, wss traffic).

Charles for the desktop can intercept secure websocket traffic.

Yes, but the problem with Charles (well, iOS related at least) is that iOS websockets don't go through the HTTP Proxy configured. They're just considered a raw socket. Thus, even on desktop Charles, it's a nogo.

[evilduck → Operyl]

I don't know about intercepting iOS apps, but I definitely do this exact thing for web app development targeting iPads using Charles for the desktop.

Be sure that your default proxy port doesn't conflict with the default WSS port.

Edit: for reference I'm on Charles 4.2.1

[Operyl → evilduck]

It works in Safari and Webviews, but definitely not in any native apps. That's what I'm referring to.
