REST Discovery Proxy

REST Discovery Proxy

The REST Discovery Proxy can be used to record traffic from outside of SoapUI.

The proxy allows SoapUI to act as a standard proxy forwarding messages back and forth between the client to the specified host.

The proxy does not need to be started explicitly, it runs immediately when you open the window.

The port for the proxy is configurable and changes apply in real time.

Usage

The proxy can be used to capture traffic through an external client. For example:

• A mobile device to capture HTTP traffic and create test cases
• Run API tests from another application on the same computer.
• Capture remote traffic on external client elsewhere in the network.
