**Capture** is a reverse proxy that takes an incoming HTTP request and sends it to another server,
proxying the response back to the client, while showing them in a dashboard.
Forked from [ofabricio/capture](https://github.com/ofabricio/capture).

## Running
```
./capture -url=https://example.com/ -port 9000 -dashboard 9001 -captures 16
```
Via docker:
```
docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 deblan/capture -url=https://example.com/ -port 9000 -dashboard 9001 -captures 16
```
#### Settings
| param | description |
| -------------- | ------------- |
| `-url` | **Required.** Set the url you want to proxy |
| `-port` | Set the proxy port. Default: *9000* |
| `-dashboard` | Set the dashboard port. Default: *9001* |
| `-captures` | Set how many captures to show in the dashboard. Default: *16* |
| `-tls-skip-verify` | Skip TLS vertificaton. Default: *false* |
| `-config` | Set the configuration file. Default: *.capture.ini* |
You can create a file named `.capture.ini` and set the configuration inside:
```
url = https://example.com/
port = 9000
dashboard = 9001
captures = 16
tls_skip_verify = false
```
## Using
If you set your base url as `http://example.com/api`, now `http://localhost:9000` points to that
address. Hence, calling `http://localhost:9000/users/1` is like calling `http://example.com/api/users/1`
*Capture* saves all requests and responses so that you can see them in the dashboard.
## Dashboard
To access the dashboard go to `http://127.0.0.1:9001/`

## Building
Manually:
```
git clone --depth 1 https://gitnet.fr/deblan/capture.git
cd capture
go build
```
Via docker:
```
git clone --depth 1 https://gitnet.fr/deblan/capture.git
cd capture
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/src -w /src -e GOOS=darwin -e GOARCH=amd64 golang:alpine go build
```
Now you have an executable binary in your directory.
**Note:** change `GOOS=darwin` to `linux` or `windows` to create an executable for your corresponding Operating System.
## Plugins
Put [plugin](https://golang.org/pkg/plugin/) files in the current directory.
They are loaded sorted by filename on startup.
Plugins must export the following function:
```go
func Handler(proxy http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
proxy(w, r)
}
}
```
