charlesrec

A tiny shellscript wrapper around Charles to quickly record http traffic to a .har file from the shell. (No need to open Charles GUI).

Setup

• fully configure charles in the GUI (i.e. enable SSL, etc)
• in the GUI, enable the webinterface and allow anonymous access
• in the script change the path to the Charles executable (CHARLES=<path>)

Usage

• (make sure no other Charles instance is running)
• start charlesrec to start recording
• press CTRL + C to stop recording
• the recording will be saved in the same dir to a file charles_<timestamp>_<random>.har
