Show HN: Inspect-HTTP-Proxy: a tool to pretty-print JSON requests/responses

8 points by mmx1 8 days ago

A simple Go-based HTTP proxy designed for detailed inspection of requests and responses. It logs traffic to the console with colorization, automatic decompression, and formatting for common content types, while remaining transparent to the client application.

Ideal for debugging API interactions, understanding middleware behavior, or simply getting a clear view of HTTP traffic flow with jq-like pretty-printing & colorization of request/response. Automatically redacts parts of Authorization header to avoid token leakage.
