Requestly VS sish

Requestly- Makes frontend development cycle 10x faster with API Client, Mock Server, Intercept & Modify HTTP Requests and Session Replays.

If you want to intercept and modify a incoming json response for some specific url pattern, would a service worker be a good way to do so?

To illustrate, assume I frequently browse example.com and want to trick my browser into thinking that I have "favorited" every post. It's trivial to write a for loop that iterates over response.json and sets `is_favorite = true`. But it's not as clear to me where this script should ideally live in order to have the logic always executed before the response is made available to the site.

Your comment made me think about whether I can replace my overkill solution (https://requestly.io/) with something lightweight.

If you prefer open-source there is Requestly and Toolkit.

If you don't know Requestly, It is an open-source Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension to intercept & modify HTTP requests & responses. One of the popular features is to modify HTTP headers. We also offer workspaces for easy collaboration between team members.

Hey, open-source community, This is Sachin, One of the core maintainers of Requestly - An open-source alternative to Charles Proxy & Telerik Fiddler. In case you don’t know about Charles Proxy & Fiddler, both of them are two decades-old products used widely to Inspect & Modify HTTP traffic in web & mobile apps.

In /etc/hosts file you put only IP addresses and hostnames, i.e. 127.0.0.1 cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com. Then you have to set up a web server on localhost port 80 and put your image at http://localhost/steamcommunity/public/images/apps/753/1d0167575d746dadea7706685c0f3c01c8aeb6d8.jpg as well as other files from https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com. You also have to keep the URLs updated when they change upstream. It's not worth it. Better use a local proxy server like mitmproxy or requestly.

Requestly founder here. You are essentially looking for Requestly - A Chrome/Firefox browser extension to Intercept & Modify HTTP requests. Using Requestly you can actually do the following things

For development/Debugging: 1. VSCode - Got used to the key bindings and integrated terminal, so now it's really hard to switch 2. Requestly - For easily setting up local debugging environments. I am less of a UI guy, so this allows me to use the live UI of a deployed site, and redirect whichever request I want to play with to my local server. 3. Wireshark - To better understand a network protocol.

sish - Open source ngrok/serveo alternative. SSH-based but uses a custom server written in Go. Supports WebSocket tunneling.

sish uses ssh tunneling that you can read about in their docs: https://ssi.sh/

Tunneling services can be considered as a solution in some cases. Services like ngrok, frp, localtunnel and sish create a public endpoint that tunnels communication to your local endpoint via a tunnel client.

My favourite one is https://github.com/antoniomika/sish

It uses SSH as the method of opening the remote tunnel to the public server.

Why not forget about Cloudflare and a VPN but get a 3 euro Hetzner server and install https://github.com/antoniomika/sish for dynamic DNS through SSH + Traefik with a DNS resolver and have yourself a wildcard certificate. This way you can host any service from home as long as you run a port forwarding service through SSH with a one liner on Ubuntu. Better yet make an alpine docker image with a command to route traffic to your local service for even more isolation. 😘

Personally I’ve been using sish[1] recently, lots of ngrok alternatives out there now, especially as the pricing went a bit weird

i used to use a similar tool called inlets but they removed the open licensing. i now self host a sish server (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish) which also uses ssh for the reverse tunnel client. so much simpler!

- Sish : Because I don't want to pay for ngrok anymore (https://github.com/antoniomika/sish)

They could create a tunneled connection. Take a look at ngrok.io or ssi.sh
