I have been trying to get a better view of how the iPhone makes use of certain HTTP headers. When developing with Firefox, I usually turn on my Charles Proxy or enable a extension for watching headers, like livehttpheaders. Fooling around with the iPhone simulator, I couldn’t find any obvious preference settings. I also dug around with the “defaults” utility in OS X, but only came up with the following keys:
mikebrittain$ defaults read com.apple.iPhoneSimulator
{
"NSWindow Frame iPhoneSimulatorWindow" = "287 10 386 742 0 0 1280 778 ";
windowOrientation = 1;
}
So I took a closer look at Charles to see if there was a solution in there. I was surprised to find that this is actually very easy to do. Under the Proxy menu, there’s an option for Mac OS X Proxy. Enabling that seems to make it possible to have all HTTP traffic proxied through Charles.
Are there other solutions I’m missing?
