Caido

HTTP History ​

The HTTP History tab allows you to view requests and responses as they pass through the proxy. The HTTP History tab shows a table of all requests that have been proxied through Caido.

The table format allows for easy examination of the traffic flow by offering categories of sortable properties. These properties include details such as the intended host of the request, the request method used, pathing and extension information - as well as details of the associated response such as status code, response length and response time.

Advanced filtering and data exportation capabilities are also integrated into the HTTP History interface.
