Redirect HTTP requests with simple hosts file-like syntax, block website images with string matches. Missofis Request Interceptor is a request interceptor for those who simply want to redirect a public URL to a local one. Think it is as an enhanced hosts file right under your browser toolbar. Usage: The extension comes with two features, "redirections" and "matches". - Redirections are simple URL rewrites. If you add "localhost:3000/my-local-script.js example.com/my-live-script.js" line to the redirections then "https://example.com/my-live-script.js" will be rewritten as "https://localhost:3000/my-local-script.js". With the same logic, you may redirect a complete remote folder to a local one. - Matches are different. They are plain request blockers. Provide a URL match like "cdn.example.com/assets/img" and all image request to those assets folder will be blocked. - Syntax for redirections is "localhost:3000/my-local-script.js example.com/my-live-script.js". Two space separated strings separated with any number of spaces. - Syntax for mathces is "cdn.example.com/assets/img". A single string to match image URLs. - Comments are welcome with lines starting with # symbol. What you can't do: - You can't edit HTTP headers - No regex support - You can't top Content-Security-Policy response headers Warning: - This is a developer tool for experienced users. Redirections may result in catastrophes. So if you're not an experienced user, please consider not using this extension or get some help from someone. - Avoid generic matchers like "my-local" "example.com". This extension is developed to debug a remote script with a local development environment. Nothing more than that. Generic matchers may also result "too many redirections" errors to be thrown by browsers. - This tool is not an ad blocker.
