We recommend updating whistle and Node to ensure that you receive important features, bugfixes and performance improvements. Some versions of Node have bugs that may cause whistle to not work properly, for detail see the issue: #231

whistle

中文 README

whistle is a cross-platform web debugging tool based on Node.js.

It features the following:

offer HTTP proxying
capture, replay or compose requests of HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket and TCP.
manipulate http request and response by configing hosts, or patterns like domain, path, regular expression, wildcard characters, wildcard path, etc.
offer build-in mobile debugging mode

If the aboves can't satisfy your requirements, you can also use plugins to extend its capabilities.

The specific functions are as follows：

specific functions

Manipulations to http request and response in whistle can be achieved as a Rule looks like:

pattern operatorURI

Description：

pattern is an expression to match the target request url. You can write patterns in different forms including domain, path, regular expression, wildcard, and so on.

 # matching domain
 www.example.com
 # domain with port
 www.example.com:6666
 # domain with protocol, supporting http, https, ws, wss, tunnel
 http://www.example.com

 # matching path, supporting protocol, port
 www.example.com/test
 https:/www.exapmle.com/test
 https:/www.exapmle.com:6666/test

 # matching regular expression
 /^https?://www\.example\.com\/test/(.*)/ referer://http://www.test.com/$1

 # matching wildcard
 ^www.example.com/test/*** referer://http://www.test.com/$1

For more details, please visit Pattern Matching

operatorURI is the corresponding operation, made up of opProtocol and opValue：
opProtocol represents the kind of operation, e.g.

 # host：setting requested server IP
 pattern host://opValue

 # file：using the local file to replace
 pattern file://opValue

opValue represents the parameters of the specific operation, e.g.

 # host：setting requested server IP
 pattern host://127.0.0.1:6666 # or pattern 127.0.0.1:6666	

 # file：using the local file to replace
 pattern file:///User/test/dirOrFile # or pattern /User/test/dirOrFile
 pattern file://E:\test\dirOrFile # or pattern E:\test\dirOrFile

For more details, please visit operation value

The position of pattern and operatorURI can be swapped in most situations while the combination mode is also supported. For more details, please visit configuration mode

Install & Setup

install Node

The latest LTS version of Node.js is recommended.

If none or low version of Node.js is installed, you need install the latest version of Node.js according to the following instructions：

For Windows: please visit https://nodejs.org/ to download the latest LTS version of Node.js and then, install it using the default options.
For Mac: the same as Windows.
For Linux: using source code to install is recommended, because in this way, you don't need to configure the path. If you fail to install with source code, you can also use the binary version of Node.js directly.
- with source package： visit Official website of Node to download the latest version of Source Code*(or using wget in shell), unzip(tar -xzvf node-xxx.tar.gz), switch to the root directory(cd node-xxx), execute ./configure, ./make and ./make install in order。
- using binary version：visit Official website of Node to download the latest Linux Binaries(or using command wget to download), unzip(tar -xzvf node-xxx.tar.gz), add the absolute path of bin directory to system PATH after extracting。

You can execute node -v in shell to check if the expected version of Node.js is installed successfully：

$ node -v
v8.9.4

install whistle

After the Node.js is installed successfully, you can execute the following npm command to install whistle（In Mac or Linux, prefix sudo is needed if you are not root user, i.e. sudo npm install -g whistle）

npm install -g whistle

In China, you can install whistle using npm mirror of taobao to speed up installing progress and avoid failure：

npm install cnpm -g --registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org
cnpm install -g whistle

or specify mirror install directly：
npm install whistle -g --registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org

Quick start

Open Rules tab in whistle, and create a group named test by context menu or Create button in menu bar. Then follow the next steps to write rules and save.

cofigure hosts
Specify the ip of www.ifeng.com:
```
 www.ifeng.com 127.0.0.1
 # or
 127.0.0.1 www.ifeng.com
```
Specify the ip and port of www.ifeng.com to forward http request to local port 8080. In this way, we can visit the local website just as online when the developing port is not 80:
```
 # www.ifeng.com 127.0.0.1
 www.ifeng.com 127.0.0.1:8080
 # or
 127.0.0.1:8080 www.ifeng.com
```
We can also replace the real IP (or domain) and port with any domain without port:
```
 www.ifeng.com host://www.qq.com:8080
 # or
 host://www.qq.com:8080 www.ifeng.com
```
For more details, please visit Pattern Matching
local files replacing

Replace the response with content in local file system, which is frequently used during web developing.

# Mac or Linux
www.ifeng.com file:///User/username/test
# or www.ifeng.com file:///User/username/test/index.html
	
# Both '\' and '/' can be used as path separator for Widows
www.ifeng.com file://E:\xx\test
# or www.ifeng.com file://E:\xx\test\index.html

http://www.ifeng.com/ will try to load /User/username/test first. If the former dosen't exist, the file /User/username/test/index.html will be loaded. For neither exists, it returns 404.

To replace jsonp request, you can refer to tpl

For more details, please vsit Pattern Matching

Request Forward
To forward all the requests from domain www.ifeng.com to domain www.aliexpress.com
```
 www.ifeng.com www.aliexpress.com
```

Inject html、js、css
whistle will decide whether injecting corresponding text and how to inject, like whether wrapping the text with HTML label, automatically according to response type.
```
 # Mac、Linux
 www.ifeng.com html:///User/xxx/test/test.html
 www.ifeng.com js:///User/xxx/test/test.js
 www.ifeng.com css:///User/xxx/test/test.css
	
 # Both '\' and '/' can be used as path separator for Widows
 www.ifeng.com html://E:\xx\test\test.html
 www.ifeng.com js://E:\xx\test\test.js
 www.ifeng.com css://E:\xx\test\test.css
```
For all the requests for domain www.ifeng.com, whistle will inject the processed text to response body according to response type. If the type is HTML, the js content will be wrapped within script, and the css content be wrapped within style to be injected to response body。
