4.0/5

James is a simple and intuitive app that allows you to monitor all Internet traffic going through a web browser using its built-in HTTP proxy. It is very easy to set up and can serve as a reliable debugging tool.

When James is launched, the local proxy is started automatically and can be used with any web browser, as long as you insert the provided address and port number.

To help speed things up, the application can configure Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox automatically. As a result, it only takes a couple of mouse clicks to get the server up and running and start intercepting requests.

Once your web browser has been configured, James will list all requests made from it, along with important details such as ping and target URL. Clicking on a specific entry brings up an additional panel that displays the request and response headers.

To find certain items more easily, you can use the app’s search function to filter the list’s contents.

Moreover, James allows you to create URL mappings to redirect users to a specified link or a local file.

James is a lightweight, open-source alternative to more powerful tools, and is designed to make the tasks of traffic monitoring and Internet connection debugging a lot easier.

It lacks some advanced features available in more complex apps, but its intuitive design and modern interface make it accessible to novices and experts alike.

It provides everything you need in one package, as it includes a straightforward monitoring tool and an HTTP proxy that your web browser can be configured to use in no time at all.
