README

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 as an actively maintained open-source alternative.

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
