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?
