# HTTP Proxy

> Use this tool when you need to intercept and analyze HTTP and HTTPS traffic, or manage proxy sessions. It solves problems related to web traffic debugging, testing, and security analysis by providing a man-in-the-middle proxy that captures and stores request and response data. It takes network traffic as input and outputs stored data in a local SQLite database, ideal for use cases requiring detailed traffic inspection and analysis.

## Description

Runs a man-in-the-middle proxy on localhost that intercepts HTTP and HTTPS traffic with dynamic certificate generation, storing every request, response, header, body, and timing metric in a local SQLite database. Provides 13 tools organized into proxy control, session management, and traffic analysis categories, enabling full lifecycle management from starting/stopping the proxy to querying captured traffic by hostname, method, status code, or body content. Auto-configures the Windows system proxy on start and restores settings on stop, with crash-safety handlers to prevent dangling proxy configurations.
