Support for importing Charles JSON format files

[danimal]

Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)

2.29.0 (22900)

macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)

11.4

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Charles Proxy on iOS
2. Capture traffic
3. Export session as a .chlsj JSON-formatted Charles file
4. Open ProxyMan
5. Select File > Open… and select the chlsj file from the file browser
6. The chlsj file is unable to be selected.

Expected behavior

Proxyman currently supports reading in chls files which are binary-formatted Charles files. It can also convert them to HAR files for sharing with other users. The chlsj JSON-formatted files should be able to be read into Proxyman in addition to the binary formatted files.

In the course of work someone will share a chlsj file that was captured on an iOS device. To use Proxyman with this file I have to open the file in Charles and export it in chls format. Unfortunately this causes a crash in Proxyman (see the chls exported from a chlsj and the crash attatched in the zip file).

Thanks for opening the ticket and the attached file. It definately helps me to reproduce the bug @danimal 🙌

I'm working on it now 👍

Hey @danimal please check out this Beta build: https://proxyman.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/beta/Proxyman_2.29.0_Import_chlsj_files.dmg

What's new

• Drag & drop the chlsj file and directly open it with Proxyman app
• Fix crashed when opening the HAR file, which is exported from the chlsj file

Notes

This version will require you to update a new Helper Tool (v1.3) https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/923

Please let me know if it works for you @danimal 😄

@NghiaTranUIT Thanks for the really quick reply! Both the chlsj and the exported chls from a chlsj work great! I was even able to open a 4.5GB chlsj file we gathered from on-device testing. Thank you again for the quick work.

I also really appreciate the Helper Tool upgrade message on app launch. Great work.

Glad to know that it works for you 💯 🎉

This alone is a reason for me to get the license and support further development. Prefer charles on iOS (to be fair, its been a while since I tried proxyman iOS, will give it another shot), but proxyman mac app is just SO much better than charles as a viewer and recorder, keep it up guys!

Oh yes, now I remember, I wasn't able to enable ssl for ALL domains. When I need https sniffing, I usually want all domains intercepted, enabling on domain level after the request was already made is a bit annoying (especially since I don't know all the domains that I'll need beforehand). I think there was some wildcard option, but it didn't work for me.
