Perform HTTP requests.
You can inspect the HTTP requests directly in your web browser at http://localhost:4909.

.

You can trace all the HTTP requests performed by a script
pyhttpdbg --script filename.py [arg1 --arg2 ...]
pytest
You can trace all the HTTP requests performed during your tests
pyhttpdbg --pytest [arg1 --arg2 ...]
note: httpdbg
can't record the HTTP(S) requests if tests are executed in parallel using plugin like xdist
.
configuration
httpdbg
doesn't need any configuration to work but some few settings are available for particular use.
