Breakpoints, Map Local, Map Remote & scripts

ProxyHawk includes developer‑oriented tools to pause, rewrite, or redirect traffic. Exact UI labels may vary by version; this page describes the intent of each feature.

Breakpoints

Pause a matching request or response before it completes so you can inspect or edit content, then continue. Useful for reproducing race conditions or testing error handling.

Concurrency: Breakpoints block traffic for matching rules—avoid overly broad URL patterns in shared environments.

Map Local

Serve a local file or mock response instead of calling the real upstream for matching requests—ideal for offline UI work and stable fixtures.

Map Remote

Rewrite URLs (e.g. point production hostnames to staging servers) for matching traffic, without changing the client app configuration.

Scripts

User‑defined scripts can transform requests or responses. Treat script content and enabled rules as trusted code—only enable rules you understand. See Security & privacy.
