What's Charles?
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Scott Talsma Sent: Thu 7/30/2009 10:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFFUG Discuss] charles or service capture question The way charles works is that is configures the browser's proxy settings, pointing them to a port that Charles opens for proxying. For PC and Mac, the proxy settings that the system uses are shared by IE/Safari. So activating Charles essentially sends AIR requests through that proxy. In Linux, you would probably have to manually configure the proxy settings at the network card level to point it at the Charles proxy port. Kinda a pain, b/c when you close Charles, you have to go back and reset your proxy for web requests to work again.
