If you're using custom system CAs on Android for TLS - whether that's for HTTPS debugging, ad blocking or local testing - there's trouble brewing. Let's talk about the latest Android 17 changes and how to keep things working:

Have you seen testserver.host/? As part of building HTTP Toolkit I often need a remote servers for testing edge cases, so I've built one! Now fairly mature & stable. It's httpbin.org plus badssl.com plus lots of extras.
testserver.host

Endpoints can be combined using double-dashes, e.g. expired--revoked--http2--tls-v1-2.{domain} will return an expired and revoked certificate, use TLSv1.2, and then negotiate HTTP/2 on the connection.

Oh. After many long years... HTTP now officially has a standard QUERY method. Think: cacheable, idempotent GET that can carry a meaningful payload. We can now all stop bastardizing POST. auth48-transition.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc1...

HTTP Toolkit can now automatically detect, parse & expose the EXIF metadata within intercepted images. Quickly inspect the secret metadata in images to understand when, where, and how they were captured, and plenty more; EXIF can hide a surprising amount! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif

I've been thinking about simonomi.dev/blog/color-c.... Whipped up a quick prototype for HTTP Toolkit's hex view - what do you think? Interesting and more useful than monochrome, or just visually noisy? See if you can guess what each file type is here - answers in the alt text 😀
A hex view with bytes coloured by value - in this case a favicon (lots of 00 at the start, then repeating patterns later).A hex view with bytes coloured by value - in this case HTML (lots of ascii values with similar colours, and quite a few symbols for the < > etc)A hex view with bytes coloured by value - in this case protobuf - a mix of ascii strings and very low 0X bytes.

It's hard to find the needle in the haystack sometimes... You can now right-click any request in HTTP Toolkit to use its hostname as a filter, to quickly hide any host or show it exclusively, in one click right from the traffic itself 🪡

HTTP RateLimit headers – Tony Finch
There is an IETF draft that aims to standardize RateLimit header fields for HTTP. A RateLimit header in a successful response can inform a client when it might expect to be throttled, so it can avoid 429 Too Many Requests errors. Servers can also include RateLimit headers in a 429 response to make the error more informative.

If you like turning HTTP into code, you'll be excited to hear that HTTP Toolkit can now export requests as ready-to-use code for: - Rust's Reqwest library - Ruby's Faraday library - Crystal's built-in APIs - Spring RestClient on the JVM Plus plenty of other fixes & tweaks to improve other cases.

I've been doing some ridiculously neat reverse engineering recently. Check this out: github.com/httptoolkit/... That code is modifying functions inside Flutter apps, without debug info, by *fingerprinting known chunks of assembly* for each CPU architecture, and then scanning memory to find them 🤯

Want to script your own MitM proxy? You can use HTTP Toolkit's internals standalone via Mockttp, a JS library to build HTTP, WebSocket & TLS intercepting proxies: github.com/httptoolkit/... v4 just went live: advanced URL regex rewriting, delay mixins, and non-HTTP proxying too 🚀

The HTTP QUERY Method
This specification defines a new HTTP method, QUERY, as a safe, idempotent request method that can carry request content.

Some major performance updates have gone live this week 🚀 With a big internal redesign, memory usage just dropped 40%, and processing input got up to 50x (!) faster. A nice drop in CPU while intercepting, but a huge boost when you load a HAR of 100s of thousands of requests.
