Is there any way to set fiddler to lookup gateway proxy (upstream proxy) from Advanced configuration instead of the common configuration? I have an application that sets multiple proxies for each protocol. So fiddler assumes there is no gateway unless it finds something in the box above.
Also is there any QuickExec command available for changing the Gateway? I'm looking for rapid way to set upstream proxy.
By default, the upstream gateway for each session is inherited from the IE/Windows default proxy setting that was set when Fiddler starts up.
However, on each session it can be overridden using the X-OverrideGateway Session Flag.
So, to build your own QuickExec action, do this:
Inside Rules > Customize Rules > Handlers, add
public static var m_GatewayOverride = null;
Inside OnBeforeRequest, add
if (null != m_GatewayOverride) { oSession["X-OverrideGateway"] = m_GatewayOverride;
Inside the OnExecAction method's switch statement, add
case "gw":
if (sParams.Length<2) {m_GatewayOverride = null; return;}
m_GatewayOverride = sParams[1]; FiddlerObject.StatusText="Set Gateway to " + m_GatewayOverride;
return true;
Then, you can type things like gw myProxy:1234 to force subsequent requests to myProxy:1234 or simply type gw to clear the override.

I would like to set different proxies while the application is running. However, it seems that the first request after setting a new proxy uses the old proxy settings! Subsequent requests use the new proxy settings...
How am I supposed to set a new proxy?
Things I have tried:
1)
Setting the new proxy via different methods:
QNetworkProxy::setApplicationProxy(networkProxy);
or
QNetworkProxyFactory::setApplicationProxyFactory(networkProxyFactory);
// then later:
networkProxyFactory.setNewProxy(hostname, port);
Making sure that the previous page stops loading before setting a new proxy:
QWebEnginePage::triggerAction(QWebEnginePage::Stop, true);
Making sure that the event loop runs between setting the new proxy and sending the request:
//set new proxy via the above methods
QCoreApplication::processEvents();
QCoreApplication::postEvent(..., Qt::LowEventPriority);
// now the event loop can run, in case changing the proxy
// needs to process some events,
// our event is set to low prio,
// so that it does not preemt a possible proxy-events
QWebEnginePage::event(QEvent *e) {
loadRequest();
}
None of these works. The proxies work fine, but a new proxy is only effective after the second request after setting a new proxy.
setInitialProxy(proxy1); // this works from the get-go
app.exec()
setNewProxy(proxy2);
QWebEnginePage::load(requestA); // uses proxy1
QWebEnginePage::load(requestB); // uses proxy2
Is it even possible to change proxies after app.exec(), or is it just some blind luck that it works this much? I would assume, if a browser is built around WebEngine, the user should be able to change the proxy settings...
When i set proxy settings in the system my Electron application gets it automatically for common requests (axios package), but not for websockets (socket.io-client package). If i provide proxy settings manually then websockets starts to work too, but i want to try to avoid manual configuration, because it may be tricky to the real app's users. So i'm looking any way to get proxy settings from electron and transfer them to the websockets.
I have tried to use login event for my browserWindow in the both main and renderer process, but it doesn't trigger at all. Is there any way to get proxy settings that electron uses?
I've found the solution. It's possible to take proxy-settings inside the main process.
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({})
const ses = mainWindow.webContents.session;
ses.resolveProxy('url_you_need_to_achieve', (proxy) => {
// do whatever you want with proxy string, that contains proxy-setting
});
I am writing a bdd test for a component that will startup phantomjs and hit a specific route on my site and do processing on that. Because the component is fundamentally about automating a phantom instance there is no way to easily stub out the http requests.
So I want to stub out a self-hosted endpoint that will stub out the data I'm after. Because this is a unit test I think its really important for it to run in isolation so I do something like this:
async Task can_render_html_for_slide_async() {
var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:54331");
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("Controller", "{controller}", new {});
using (var server = new HttpSelfHostServer(config)) {
server.OpenAsync().Wait();
var client = new HttpClient();
var resp = await client.GetStringAsync(config.BaseAddress+"/Stub");
Console.WriteLine(resp);
}
}
public class StubController : ApiController
{
public string Get() {
return "Booyah";
}
}
Which gets me
AddressAccessDeniedException : HTTP could not register URL http://+:54331/
I understand that netsh or Admin mode is required for this but I don't understand why. Nodejs for example runs perfectly fine on windows but has no such requirement.
Also using OWIN directly needs no netsh-ing. So....what's going on?
I wrote an article about it on codeproject, it was done to make it possible for multiple application to share the same port.
You can have both, IIS and Apache (or OWIN in your case) listenening port 80. The routing to the right application is done thanks to the path of the url.
IIS and Apache both would use this driver (http.sys). But you need permission to "reserve" a path.
Administrators are always authorized. For other users, use netsh or my GUI tool HttpSysManager to set ACL.
Any method that requires giving permission via netsh uses a Windows kernel driver to provide http access.
If a library opens a socket itself and handles the http communication that way, no netsh use is needed.
So to answer your question, some methods are using the kernel driver and some are handling the protocol themselves.
I can enable tracing by replacing the default No Op trace writer.
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Replace(typeof(ITraceWriter), new SimpleTracer());
But how can I disable (and enable it again) while the server is running?
The Enum "TraceLevel" has the option TraceLevel.Off.
Is there a way to set the tracing-framwork form web api to TraceLevel.Off?
Take a look at this article here.
WebApi does not provide any way to configure trace writers regarding their current category or level.
And
Determining which categories and levels are currently enabled is the
responsibility of the ITraceWriter implementation. The Web API
framework has no concept of trace configuration or determining which
categories and levels are enabled.
The intent of this approach is to rely on the ITraceWriter
implementation’s own mechanisms to configure what gets traced and
where.
For example, if you use an NLog-specific ITraceWriter, you should
configure tracing through NLog configuration mechanisms.
In short if you want to enable and disable your tracing or chose not to log a trace for a particular level it is up to you to implement inside your SimpleTracer.
You could create your own threadsafe singleton TraceConfiguration (akin to GlobalConfiguration) implementation to control the trace configuration to allow toggling on or off within the code.
public void Trace(HttpRequestMessage request, string category, TraceLevel level, Action<TraceRecord> traceAction)
{
if(TraceConfiguration.Configuration.IsEnabled)
{
//trace
}
}
Or you could set and access properties on the request object to determine whether to enable tracing or not. This could be set by ActionFilters on actions and controllers or even set within the controller.
public void Trace(HttpRequestMessage request, string category, TraceLevel level, Action<TraceRecord> traceAction)
{
if(request.Properties["SupressTracing"] as string != "true")
{
//trace
}
}
Or as the article suggests if you are using NLog or Log4Net etc it is up to you set the levels enabled via config etc.
When trying to invoke a method on an external webservice (over the Internet) it throws me
"The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required."
To solve this, I used the following code to set the proxy we use in the office:
//Set the system proxy with valid server address or IP and port.
System.Net.WebProxy pry = new System.Net.WebProxy("MyHost", 8080);
//The DefaultCredentials automically get username and password.
pry.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
System.Net.WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = pry;
That works fine, but now... I need to do that "less harcoded" trying to get the information from my system instead of setting that manually.
This will use whatever the default proxy is for IE I believe (not deprecated):
Services.MyService service = new Services.MyService();
service.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
service.Proxy = new System.Net.WebProxy();
service.Proxy.Credentials = service.Credentials;
System.Net.WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy() although VS cautions its been deprecated.
