graftcp VS insomnia

Thanks, that's super useful.

> If you try to use go's package manager, example: `go get golang.org/x/oauth2`

I just tested, and `go get golang.org/x/oauth2` seems to work fine for me, I can see all the requests being happily intercepted immediately: https://imgur.com/a/Cb1y9Q2

Can you see the 500 in HTTP Toolkit, and any more info there (in the body or as an error at the top) related to that? Or can you see a "certificate rejected" message? If nothing turns up there at all then yes, something must be overriding the proxy configuration.

Maybe you have some other Go package manager configuration that conflicts with this? I'd be very interested to know about that if so, I'm sure there's others with the same thing. It's always very hard to know if my configuration is representative of normal devs for any given language/tool.

Probably best to debug this outside of a HN thread though :-). You can file a proper issue about this at https://github.com/httptoolkit/httptoolkit/issues/new, I'd love to know what's going on there and get this fixed.

Really interesting, thanks! I'll look into that.

unfortunately golang doesn't work with proxychains :( but you can still use other tools such as graftcp or specify a proxy with the -x or --proxy flag that uses multiple proxy's like multitor or just use the tor proxy which is the simplest way.

Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected.

We will be performing all of the authentication requests manually, however for testing purposes, you might want to use an API testing tool such as Postman or Insomnia.

For a very long time, the go-to tool was curl. Great, always available command line tool. Unfortunately, there is one small issue. It’s hard to keep requests and collect them in collections, it’s great for one-time shots or debugging, but for constant working with API could be painful. To solve it, I started working with tools like Postman/Insomnia. Then eh... strange licensing model, or changes which occurred from Kong side click, definitely push me again for some lookup. After checking different very popular tools and those not such well known I decided to use… Ansible. Sounds strange right? Let me explain this decision. For example, look at this code.

At first, I used Postman for testing APIs because it had a lot of features. But I switched to Insomnia because it was easier to use and kept everything organized. The big problem with Insomnia was that it deleted all my saved work when it made me create an account to keep using it.

Often used for cases where a project exposes a REST or other type of API service. Open API is a popular method of documenting such API services. It can also be used along side tools such as Swagger Codegen to produce boilerplate code for API interaction / testing purposes. There may also be support files for popular API testing tools such as Postman or Insomnia. This makes it easier at a glance to see what data is coming back from a call so the user knows how to handle parsing the data.

Well, there is this website that I have been trying to scrape for a few days now. I had tried everything from scrapy splash on docker to almost giving up because I read somewhere that it was JavaScript rendered. Since the source code from the inspect part of the developer tools was different from the source code from the view-source:https//... on the same developer tools.How could this be possible? Then I kept searching on internet and found this concept; where you can mimic web-browsers requests from a server using an API program,and it worked magically. Some of the API programs are postman and insomnia. I prefer using insomnia for this particular case , feel free to use any other API program of your choice.
