Charles Autoconfiguration Description
Getting a detailed insight on the data exchange between the computer and remote servers when browsing the Internet may be very useful especially to developers who are looking to detect potential issues.
Channeling all the data communication through a proxy and then analyzing the traffic could be a solution, but it needs some specialized utilities like Charles in order to be carried out successfully. This particular web proxy comes with a very useful tool that is aimed at those who have Firefox as the Internet navigator of choice.
Since this web browser is known to be extensible through add-ons, Charles Autoconfiguration was created and this tiny helper will take care of a really important task. More precisely, this extension is able to handle on its own the setup of the proxy settings for Firefox, so the user doesn’t have to get entangled in complex configurations.
As soon as it is installed inside Mozilla’s proprietary web browser, Charles Autoconfiguration will make the necessary adjustments so that all the outgoing and incoming data is filtered and available for analysis and debugging.
The add-on should prove a quiet valuable asset especially for those interested in what goes on under the hood through HTTP and SSL connections. Firefox will integrate the extension without issues and if the add-on is not installed in the same time as Charles onto a system, it can be manually added, just like any other extension.
