If you are doing any kind of rest api development you probably have heard of Postman<\/i>. Long story short, it is a Chrome<\/i> extension which allows you to send http requests in a very easy and intuitive way. Apart from that (and many other features), it also allows you to intercept browser request. As this feature is very easy to overlook, here is a simple guide how to use it.
\nIn the Postman<\/i> window, click little satellite look-like button and toggle the “Interceptor” switch
\n\"Postman<\/a>
\nPostman<\/i> will ask you to install additional plugin called Postman Interceptor<\/i>
\n\"Install\"<\/a>
\nOnce you click “Install” you will be redirected to Chrome Web Store<\/i> where you can add the plugin to the browser. After successful installation you will see additional icon in Chrome<\/i> menu bar. Click it and toggle “Request capture” switch
\n\"CaptureEnabled\"<\/a>
\nWhen you go back to Postman<\/i> and toggle again “Interceptor” button, it will be synchronized with Postman Interceptor<\/i> plugin
\n\"InSync\"<\/a>
\nand from now on, requests sent by browser will be visible in requests history
\n\"Interception\"<\/a>
\nwhere you will be able to modify and resend them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
