Debug curl HTTP Requests
Capture, inspect, and mock curl requests. See full headers, response bodies, and timing without adding -v flags. Works with any curl command.
Features
HTTPS Decryption
Automatically intercept and decrypt HTTPS traffic from your terminal commands. Inspect request and response bodies in plain text.
Request & Response Inspection
View full HTTP headers, body content, cookies, and timing information for every request made by your scripts and CLI tools.
No curl Flags Needed
Skip -v, --trace, or --verbose. HTTPeep captures everything automatically so you can focus on the data that matters.
API Mock & Rewrite
Mock API responses or rewrite request/response data without changing your source code. Perfect for testing edge cases.
Breakpoint Debugging
Pause requests matching specific rules, edit headers or body on the fly, then continue or abort. Like a debugger for HTTP.
REST API Debugging
Debug REST APIs by inspecting request/response cycles. Test different status codes, headers, and body formats without a real backend.

FAQ
curl
Do I need to add --proxy to my curl commands?
No. hp shell sets the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which curl respects by default. Your existing curl commands work without modification.
Can I see response headers that curl hides?
Yes. HTTPeep captures all request and response headers, including those normally hidden by curl. You get the complete picture.
Does it work with curl POST and PUT requests?
Yes. HTTPeep captures all HTTP methods including POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and custom methods. Request bodies are fully visible.
