### This project is in maintenance mode



Maintainers or forks welcome: the original James team aren't able to spend the same amount of time on James anymore.



We suggest looking at [HTTP Toolkit](https://httptoolkit.tech) as an actively maintained open-source alternative.

# James



[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/james-proxy/james.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/james-proxy/james) 



James is an HTTP Proxy and Monitor that enables developers to view and intercept requests made from the browser.

It is an open-source alternative to the popular developer tool [Charles](http://www.charlesproxy.com/)



James is built with [hoxy](https://github.com/greim/hoxy), [electron](https://github.com/atom/electron) and [react](https://reactjs.org/)

## Features



### Wildcard URL Mappings



To use wildcards in the "url to map" field, put a "*" between two adjacent slashes. For example:

```

http://foo.com/version/*/app.js -> http://localhost:8000/app.js

```

Requests which will be redirected:

* `http://foo.com/version/1/app.js`

* `http://foo.com/version/26.8/app.js`

* `http://foo.com/version/spaghetti/app.js`



Requests which will **not** be redirected:

* `http://foo.com/version/app.js`

* `http://bar.com/version/1/app.js`



You can also use multiple wildcards in the same URL.

 

### HTTPS Proxying



To enable HTTPS support follow the [instructions in our wiki](https://github.com/james-proxy/james/wiki)
