I guess this is another under-recognized benefit of developing for the web - when doing so, you're staring at the Network tab all day, trying to grok what's going on over the wire and to whom. I don't remember doing this nearly as much on native.
- kelnos 7y agoYeah, that's the thing. I do very little web development, but I inevitably find myself in the Network tab of dev tools debugging something. I do around as little mobile (Android) development, and I'm not even really sure how I'd watch network traffic coming from an Android app. (I'm sure it's possible, but I imagine it requires explicit setup, possibly with some third-party software and/or the assistance of a laptop.)
- fiddlerwoaroof 7y agoIf you have a router running something like openwrt (or from a vendor that uses openwrt and lets you get a root shell on the router) you can just use tcpdump on the router with a filter to pick the host you want to monitor.
