testcafe-hammerhead
is a powerful Web proxy used as a core for the TestCafe testing framework.
Core Concepts
testcafe-hammerhead
is a URL-rewriting proxy. This means that it rewrites all properties of the appropriate JavaScript objects that contain a URL value (Location
, HTMLLinkElement.href
, etc). You can see it if you open a proxied page, invoke the browser's DevTools and inspect any element.
In addition, the proxied web page does not know that it is opened under a proxy. The proxy intercepts access attempts to all URL-containing properties and provides the original values.
