BrowserMob Proxy

BrowserMob Proxy allows you to manipulate HTTP requests and responses, capture HTTP content, and export performance data as a HAR file. BMP works well as a standalone proxy server, but it is especially useful when embedded in Selenium tests.

The latest version of BrowserMob Proxy is 2.1.2, powered by LittleProxy.

If you're running BrowserMob Proxy within a Java application or Selenium test, get started with Embedded Mode. If you want to run BMP from the command line as a standalone proxy, start with Standalone.

Getting started: Embedded Mode

To use BrowserMob Proxy in your tests or application, add the browsermob-core dependency to your pom:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>net.lightbody.bmp</groupId>
        <artifactId>browsermob-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.2</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Start the proxy:

    BrowserMobProxy proxy = new BrowserMobProxyServer();
    proxy.start(0);
    int port = proxy.getPort(); // get the JVM-assigned port
    // Selenium or HTTP client configuration goes here

Then configure your HTTP client to use a proxy running at the specified port.

Using with Selenium? See the Using with Selenium section.

Getting started: Standalone

To run in standalone mode from the command line, first download the latest release from the releases page, or build the latest from source.

Start the REST API:

    ./browsermob-proxy -port 8080

Then create a proxy server instance:

    curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/proxy
    {"port":8081}

The "port" is the port of the newly-created proxy instance, so configure your HTTP client or web browser to use a proxy on the returned port. For more information on the features available in the REST API, see the REST API documentation.

Changes since the 2.1-beta series

The browsermob-core-littleproxy module is now browsermob-core

After six beta releases, the LittleProxy implementation now supports more features and is more stable than the legacy implementation. To reflect that level of maturity and long-term support, the browsermob-core module now uses LittleProxy by default.

Note about Legacy support: In the 2.1-betas, if you were using the ProxyServer or LegacyProxyServer classes, use the browsermob-core-legacy module in 2.1.0 and higher.

LittleProxy support for LegacyProxyServer has moved to BrowserMobProxyServerLegacyAdapter. Using the LittleProxy implementation with the LegacyProxyServer interface is still fully supported as a means to help you transition from 2.0.0. Unlike the 2.1-beta series, the BrowserMobProxyServer class no longer implements LegacyProxyServer; however, the BrowserMobProxyServerLegacyAdapter can be used to integrate legacy code with the new LittleProxy interface. You must still use the browsermob-core-legacy module when using the LegacyAdapter.

   LegacyProxyServer proxy = new BrowserMobProxyServerLegacyAdapter();
   proxy.setPort(8081); // method only supported by the legacy interface
   proxy.start();

Changes since 2.0.0

The new BrowserMobProxyServer class has replaced the legacy ProxyServer implementation. The legacy implementation is no longer actively supported; all new code should use BrowserMobProxyServer. We highly recommend that existing code migrate to the new implementation.

The most important changes from 2.0 are:

New BrowserMobProxy API

BrowserMob Proxy 2.1 includes a new BrowserMobProxy interface to interact with BrowserMob Proxy programmatically. The new interface defines the functionality that BrowserMob Proxy will support in future releases (including 3.0+). To ease migration, both the legacy (Jetty-based) ProxyServer class and the new, LittleProxy-powered BrowserMobProxy class support the new BrowserMobProxy interface.

We highly recommend migrating existing code to the BrowserMobProxy interface using the BrowserMobProxyServer class.

Using the LittleProxy implementation with 2.0.0 code

The legacy interface, implicitly defined by the ProxyServer class, has been extracted into net.lightbody.bmp.proxy.LegacyProxyServer and is now officially deprecated. The new LittleProxy-based implementation will implement LegacyProxyServer for all 2.1.x releases. This means you can switch to the LittleProxy-powered implementation with minimal change to existing code (with the exception of interceptors):

    // With the Jetty-based 2.0.0 release, BMP was created like this:
    ProxyServer proxyServer = new ProxyServer();
    proxyServer.start();
    // [...]

    // To use the LittleProxy-powered 2.1.2 release, simply change to
    // the LegacyProxyServer interface and the adapter for the new
    // LittleProxy-based implementation:
    LegacyProxyServer proxyServer = new BrowserMobProxyServerLegacyAdapter();
    proxyServer.start();
    // Almost all deprecated 2.0.0 methods are supported by the 
    // new BrowserMobProxyServerLegacyAdapter implementation, so in most cases,
    // no further code changes are necessary

LegacyProxyServer will not be supported after 3.0 is released, so we recommend migrating to the BrowserMobProxy interface as soon as possible. The new interface provides additional functionality and is compatible with both the legacy Jetty-based ProxyServer implementation (with some exceptions) and the new LittleProxy implementation.

If you must continue using the legacy Jetty-based implementation, include the browsermob-core-legacy artifact instead of browsermob-core.

Features and Usage

The proxy is programmatically controlled via a REST interface or by being embedded directly inside Java-based programs and unit tests. It captures performance data in the HAR format. In addition it can actually control HTTP traffic, such as:

  • blacklisting and whitelisting certain URL patterns
  • simulating various bandwidth and latency
  • remapping DNS lookups
  • flushing DNS caching
  • controlling DNS and request timeouts
  • automatic BASIC authorization

REST API

New in 2.1: The REST API now supports LittleProxy. As of 2.1.0-beta-3, LittleProxy is the default implementation. (You may specify --use-littleproxy false to disable LittleProxy in favor of the legacy Jetty 5-based implementation.)

To get started, first start the proxy by running browsermob-proxy or browsermob-proxy.bat in the bin directory:

$ sh browsermob-proxy -port 8080
INFO 05/31 03:12:48 o.b.p.Main           - Starting up...
2011-05-30 20:12:49.517:INFO::jetty-7.3.0.v20110203
2011-05-30 20:12:49.689:INFO::started o.e.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/,null}
2011-05-30 20:12:49.820:INFO::Started SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:8080

Once started, there won't be an actual proxy running until you create a new proxy. You can do this by POSTing to /proxy:

[~]$ curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/proxy
{"port":8081}

or optionally specify your own port:

[~]$ curl -X POST -d 'port=8089' http://localhost:8080/proxy
{"port":8089}

or if running BrowserMob Proxy in a multi-homed environment, specify a desired bind address (default is 0.0.0.0):

[~]$ curl -X POST -d 'bindAddress=192.168.1.222' http://localhost:8080/proxy
{"port":8086}

Once that is done, a new proxy will be available on the port returned. All you have to do is point a browser to that proxy on that port and you should be able to browse the internet. The following additional APIs will then be available:

Description HTTP method Request path Request parameters

REST API interceptors with LittleProxy
Describe your own request interception POST /proxy/[port]/filter/request A string wich determinates interceptor rules. See more here
Describe your own response interception POST /proxy/[port]/filter/response A string wich determinates interceptor rules. See more here
REST API with Legacy interceptors
Describe your own request interception POST /proxy/[port]/interceptor/request A string wich determinates interceptor rules. See more here
Describe your own response interception POST /proxy/[port]/interceptor/response A string wich determinates interceptor rules. See more here

For example, once you've started the proxy you can create a new HAR to start recording data like so:

[~]$ curl -X PUT -d 'initialPageRef=Foo' http://localhost:8080/proxy/8081/har

Now when traffic goes through port 9091 it will be attached to a page reference named "Foo". Consult the HAR specification for more info on what a "pageRef" is. You can also start a new pageRef like so:

[~]$ curl -X PUT -d 'pageRef=Bar' http://localhost:8080/proxy/8081/har/pageRef

That will ensure no more HTTP requests get attached to the old pageRef (Foo) and start getting attached to the new pageRef (Bar). After creating the HAR, you can get its content at any time like so:

[~]$ curl http://localhost:8080/proxy/8081/har

Sometimes you will want to route requests through an upstream proxy server. In this case specify your proxy server by adding the httpProxy parameter to your create proxy request:

[~]$ curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/proxy?httpProxy=yourproxyserver.com:8080
{"port":8081}

Alternatively, you can specify the upstream proxy config for all proxies created using the standard JVM system properties for HTTP proxies. Note that you can still override the default upstream proxy via the POST payload, but if you omit the payload the JVM system properties will be used to specify the upstream proxy.

Command-line Arguments

  • -port <port>
    • Port on which the API listens. Default value is 8080.
  • -address
    • Address to which the API is bound. Default value is 0.0.0.0.
  • -proxyPortRange <from>-<to>
    • Range of ports reserved for proxies. Only applies if port parameter is not supplied in the POST request. Default values are <port>+1 to <port>+500+1.
  • -ttl <seconds>
    • Proxy will be automatically deleted after a specified time period. Off by default.
  • Embedded Mode

    New in 2.1: New Embedded Mode module

    New in 2.1: New BrowserMobProxy interface for Embedded Mode

    BrowserMob Proxy 2.1 separates the Embedded Mode and REST API into two modules. If you only need Embedded Mode functionality, add the browsermob-core artifact as a dependency. The REST API artifact is browsermob-rest.

    If you're using Java and Selenium, the easiest way to get started is to embed the project directly in your test. First, you'll need to make sure that all the dependencies are imported in to the project. You can find them in the lib directory. Or, if you're using Maven, you can add this to your pom:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.lightbody.bmp</groupId>
            <artifactId>browsermob-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.2</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    

    Once done, you can start a proxy using net.lightbody.bmp.BrowserMobProxy:

        BrowserMobProxy proxy = new BrowserMobProxyServer();
        proxy.start(0);
        // get the JVM-assigned port and get to work!
        int port = proxy.getPort();
        //...
    

    Consult the Javadocs on the net.lightbody.bmp.BrowserMobProxy class for the full API.

    Using With Selenium

    BrowserMob Proxy makes it easy to use a proxy in Selenium tests:

        // start the proxy
        BrowserMobProxy proxy = new BrowserMobProxyServer();
        proxy.start(0);
    
        // get the Selenium proxy object
        Proxy seleniumProxy = ClientUtil.createSeleniumProxy(proxy);
    
        // configure it as a desired capability
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, seleniumProxy);
    
        // start the browser up
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
    
        // enable more detailed HAR capture, if desired (see CaptureType for the complete list)
        proxy.enableHarCaptureTypes(CaptureType.REQUEST_CONTENT, CaptureType.RESPONSE_CONTENT);
    
        // create a new HAR with the label "yahoo.com"
        proxy.newHar("yahoo.com");
    
        // open yahoo.com
        driver.get("http://yahoo.com");
    
        // get the HAR data
        Har har = proxy.getHar();
    

    Note: If you're running running tests on a Selenium grid, you will need to customize the Selenium Proxy object created by createSeleniumProxy() to point to the hostname of the machine that your test is running on. You can also run a standalone BrowserMob Proxy instance on a separate machine and configure the Selenium Proxy object to use that proxy.

    HTTP Request Manipulation

    HTTP request manipulation has changed in 2.1.0+ with LittleProxy. The LittleProxy-based interceptors are easier to use and more reliable. The legacy ProxyServer implementation will not support the new interceptor methods.

    2.1.0+ (LittleProxy) interceptors

    There are four new methods to support request and response interception in LittleProxy:

    • addRequestFilter
    • addResponseFilter
    • addFirstHttpFilterFactory
    • addLastHttpFilterFactory

    For most use cases, including inspecting and modifying requests/responses, addRequestFilter and addResponseFilter will be sufficient. The request and response filters are easy to use:

        proxy.addRequestFilter(new RequestFilter() {
                @Override
                public HttpResponse filterRequest(HttpRequest request, HttpMessageContents contents, HttpMessageInfo messageInfo) {
                    if (messageInfo.getOriginalUri().endsWith("/some-endpoint-to-intercept")) {
                        // retrieve the existing message contents as a String or, for binary contents, as a byte[]
                        String messageContents = contents.getTextContents();
    
                        // do some manipulation of the contents
                        String newContents = messageContents.replaceAll("original-string", "my-modified-string");
                        //[...]
    
                        // replace the existing content by calling setTextContents() or setBinaryContents()
                        contents.setTextContents(newContents);
                    }
    
                    // in the request filter, you can return an HttpResponse object to "short-circuit" the request
                    return null;
                }
            });
            
            // responses are equally as simple:
            proxy.addResponseFilter(new ResponseFilter() {
                @Override
                public void filterResponse(HttpResponse response, HttpMessageContents contents, HttpMessageInfo messageInfo) {
                    if (/*...some filtering criteria...*/) {
                        contents.setTextContents("This message body will appear in all responses!");
                    }
                }
            });
    

    With Java 8, the syntax is even more concise:

            proxy.addResponseFilter((response, contents, messageInfo) -> {
                if (/*...some filtering criteria...*/) {
                    contents.setTextContents("This message body will appear in all responses!");
                }
            });
    

    See the javadoc for the RequestFilter and ResponseFilter classes for more information.

    For fine-grained control over the request and response lifecycle, you can add "filter factories" directly using addFirstHttpFilterFactory and addLastHttpFilterFactory (see the examples in the InterceptorTest unit tests).

    REST API interceptors with LittleProxy

    When running the REST API with LittleProxy enabled, you cannot use the legacy /:port/interceptor/ endpoints. Instead, POST the javascript payload to the new /:port/filter/request and /:port/filter/response endpoints.

    Request filters

    Javascript request filters have access to the variables request (type io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequest), contents (type net.lightbody.bmp.util.HttpMessageContents), and messageInfo (type net.lightbody.bmp.util.HttpMessageInfo). messageInfo contains additional information about the message, including whether the message is sent over HTTP or HTTPS, as well as the original request received from the client before any changes made by previous filters. If the javascript returns an object of type io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpResponse, the HTTP request will "short-circuit" and return the response immediately.

    Example: Modify User-Agent header

    curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -d "request.headers().remove('User-Agent'); request.headers().add('User-Agent', 'My-Custom-User-Agent-String 1.0');" http://localhost:8080/proxy/8081/filter/request
    
    Response filters

    Javascript response filters have access to the variables response (type io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpResponse), contents (type net.lightbody.bmp.util.HttpMessageContents), and messageInfo (type net.lightbody.bmp.util.HttpMessageInfo). As in the request filter, messageInfo contains additional information about the message.

    Example: Modify response body

    curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -d "contents.setTextContents('<html><body>Response successfully intercepted</body></html>');" http://localhost:8080/proxy/8081/filter/response
    

    Legacy interceptors

    If you are using the legacy ProxyServer implementation, you can manipulate the requests like so:

        BrowserMobProxy server = new ProxyServer();
        ((LegacyProxyServer)server).addRequestInterceptor(new RequestInterceptor() {
            @Override
            public void process(BrowserMobHttpRequest request, Har har) {
                request.getMethod().removeHeaders("User-Agent");
                request.getMethod().addHeader("User-Agent", "Bananabot/1.0");
            }
        });
    

    You can also POST a JavaScript payload to /:port/interceptor/request and /:port/interceptor/response using the REST interface. The functions will have a request/response variable, respectively, and a har variable (which may be null if a HAR isn't set up yet). The JavaScript code will be run by Rhino and have access to the same Java API in the example above:

    [~]$ curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -d 'request.getMethod().removeHeaders("User-Agent");' http://localhost:8080/proxy/8081/interceptor/request
    

    Consult the Java API docs for more info.

    SSL Support

    BrowserMob Proxy 2.1.0+ now supports full MITM: For most users, MITM will work out-of-the-box with default settings. Install the ca-certificate-rsa.cer file in your browser or HTTP client to avoid untrusted certificate warnings. Generally, it is safer to generate your own private key, rather than using the .cer files distributed with BrowserMob Proxy. See the README file in the mitm module for instructions on generating or using your own root certificate and private key with MITM.

    Legacy Jetty-based ProxyServer support for MITM: The legacy ProxyServer implementation uses the same ca-certificate-rsa.cer root certificate as the default BrowserMobProxyServer implementation. The previous cybervillainsCA.cer certificate has been removed.

    Note: DO NOT permanently install the .cer files distributed with BrowserMob Proxy in users' browsers. They should be used for testing only and must not be used with general web browsing.

    If you're doing testing with Selenium, you'll want to make sure that the browser profile that gets set up by Selenium not only has the proxy configured, but also has the CA installed. Unfortunately, there is no API for doing this in Selenium; it must be done manually for each browser and environment.

    NodeJS Support

    NodeJS bindings for browswermob-proxy are available here. Built-in support for Selenium or use CapserJS-on-PhantomJS or anything else to drive traffic for HAR generation.

    Logging

    When running in stand-alone mode, the proxy loads the default logging configuration from the conf/bmp-logging.yaml file. To increase/decrease the logging level, change the logging entry for net.lightbody.bmp.

    DNS Resolution

    The BrowserMobProxyServer implementation uses native DNS resolution by default, but supports custom DNS resolution and advanced DNS manipulation. See the ClientUtil class for information on DNS manipulation using the dnsjava resolver.

    Building the latest from source

    You'll need maven (brew install maven if you're on OS X):

    [~]$ mvn -DskipTests
    

    You'll find the standalone BrowserMob Proxy distributable zip at browsermob-dist/target/browsermob-proxy-2.1.3-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip. Unzip the contents and run the browsermob-proxy or browsermob-proxy.bat files in the bin directory.

    When you build the latest code from source, you'll have access to the latest snapshot release. To use the SNAPSHOT version in your code, modify the version in your pom:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.lightbody.bmp</groupId>
            <artifactId>browsermob-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
