HTTP Toolkit is a powerful, user-friendly tool designed for developers, testers, and security professionals to intercept, inspect, and debug HTTP(S) traffic. This versatile software allows users to capture HTTP(S) traffic from any application, inspect the details of each request and response, and modify them on-the-fly. With HTTP Toolkit, users can easily identify issues, test new features, and ensure the security and performance of their web applications.
Features:
- Traffic Interception:
- Automatic HTTP(S) Capture: Seamlessly intercept HTTP and HTTPS traffic from any application without configuration.
- Manual Configuration: Options for manually setting up interception with custom proxies and certificates.
- Multi-platform Support: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing a consistent experience across operating systems.
- Traffic Inspection:
- Detailed Request & Response Analysis: View detailed information about each HTTP request and response, including headers, body, status codes, and timings.
- Pretty Formatting: Automatic formatting of JSON, HTML, XML, and other data formats for easy readability.
- Live Data Stream: Real-time updates of ongoing HTTP traffic for continuous monitoring.
- Traffic Modification:
- On-the-fly Request/Response Editing: Modify HTTP requests and responses on-the-fly to test various scenarios and behaviors.

HTTP Toolkit is an indispensable tool for anyone working with web applications. Its comprehensive set of features for intercepting, inspecting, and modifying HTTP traffic makes it ideal for debugging, testing, and security analysis. Whether you're a developer looking to troubleshoot an issue, a tester verifying new features, or a security professional conducting an audit, HTTP Toolkit provides the capabilities you need to ensure your web applications are secure and performant.
Free version limits:
- Includes all the basic features you need to start viewing & rewriting your HTTP traffic:
- Automatically intercept all supported clients.
- Inspect and debug raw HTTP data.
- Filter, delete & pin requests.
- Manually rewrite HTTP with request & response breakpoints.
Here's how to use HTTP Toolkit:
- Download and Install:
- Download the application (Link below) for your operating system.
- Install HTTP Toolkit following the on-screen instructions.
- Intercept Traffic (Optional):
- This step allows you to monitor HTTP traffic flowing through your device.
- It's optional if you only want to analyze existing captures or manually craft requests.
- Open HTTP Toolkit and navigate to the "Intercept" tab.
- You'll see various options for intercepting traffic depending on your device:
- Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, etc.
- System-wide proxy for capturing traffic from all applications.
- Mobile interception for Android devices (requires additional setup).
- Choose the appropriate method based on your needs and follow the instructions provided within HTTP Toolkit for setting up interception.
- Inspect Traffic:
- Once you've started capturing traffic (or if you have existing capture files), you'll see them listed in the HTTP Toolkit interface.
- Click on a request or response to view its details in the inspector panel.
- The inspector displays information like:
- Request method (GET, POST, etc.)
- URL
- Headers
- Request body (if applicable)
- Response status code
- Response headers
- Response body
- You can use the inspector to analyze the communication between your device and the server.
- Modify Requests and Responses (Optional):
- HTTP Toolkit allows you to modify captured requests and responses before they are sent or received.
- This is helpful for testing different scenarios or debugging issues.
- In the inspector panel, you can edit headers, body content, or even rewrite the URL entirely.
- Once you've made your changes, you can resend the modified request and see how the server responds.
- Mock Endpoints (Optional):
- HTTP Toolkit can be used to mock backend APIs for development or testing purposes.
- You can define custom responses for specific URLs or patterns.
