Safari HTTP monitor (like HttpFox) on mac

Question

I am looking for an HTTP traffic monitor/sniffer (something like Firefox's HTTPFox) for Safari, for debugging/development purposes.I am using OSX.

Answer 1

I didn’t see a extension for Safari, but here are some tools for macOS you could use.

• Wireshark
  You could look at Wiresahark (free, but a full blown packet sniffer). Not ideal for just HTTP.
• tcpdump (nixCraft article)
  It’s command line (free).
• Cocoa Packet Analyzer
  It’s free, but it’s more like Wireshark.

Answer 2

One of the best tools is Fiddler though it is currently only in alpha for Mac & Linux systems. Another pretty good, though not free, tool for Mac OSX that I have found handy in the past is Charles Web Debugging Proxy. Also, consider exploring the debugging tools built into modern versions of Safari; they are very powerful an include a rich amount of network debug information.

Answer 3

I have used paros proxy to sniff all the http connection. I configure Safari to use the paros for all connection and inspect the traffic.

Answer 4

I use Captor to capture HTTPS traffic on mac, you can capture safari traffic also. it is a native APP. you can download it from Apple Mac Store.
