**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
[![Build Status](https://github.com/ofabricio/capture/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ofabricio/capture/actions?query=workflow%3ABuild)
[![Github Release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/ofabricio/capture.svg)](https://github.com/ofabricio/capture/releases)
## Running
./capture -url=https://example.com/
#### 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* |
## 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://localhost:9001/`

## Building
Manually:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ofabricio/capture.git
cd capture
go build -o capture .
Via docker:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ofabricio/capture.git
cd capture
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/src -w /src -e GOOS=darwin golang:alpine go build -o capture
Now you have an executable binary in your directory
**Note:** you can change `GOOS=darwin` to `linux` or `windows`
## 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(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
proxy.ServeHTTP(rw, r)
}
}
```
