NAME

Browsermob::Proxy - Perl client for the proxies created by the Browsermob server

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Standalone:

my $proxy = Browsermob::Proxy->new(
    server_port => 9090
    # port => 9092
);

print $proxy->port;
$proxy->new_har('Google');
# create network traffic across your port
$proxy->har; # returns a HAR as a JSON blob

with Browsermob::Server:

my $server = Browsermob::Server->new(
    server_port = 9090
);
$server->start; # ignore if your server is already running

my $proxy = $server->create_proxy;
$proxy->new_har('proxy from server!');

DESCRIPTION

From http://bmp.lightbody.net/: BrowserMob proxy is based on technology developed in the Selenium open source project and a commercial load testing and monitoring service originally called BrowserMob and now part of Neustar.

It can capture performance data for web apps (via the HAR format), as well as manipulate browser behavior and traffic, such as whitelisting and blacklisting content, simulating network traffic and latency, and rewriting HTTP requests and responses.

This module is a Perl client interface to interact with the server and its proxies. It uses Net::HTTP::Spore. You can use Browsermob::Server to manage the server itself in addition to using this module to handle the proxies.

ATTRIBUTES

server_port

Required. Indicate at what localhost port we should expect a Browsermob Server to be running.

port

Optional: When instantiating a proxy, you can choose the proxy port on your own, or let it automatically assign you a port for the proxy.

METHODS

get_ports

Get a list of ports attached to a ProxyServer managed by ProxyManager

$proxy->get_proxies

new

Instantiate a new proxy. server_port is the only required argument if you're instantiating this class manually.

my $proxy = $bmp->create_proxy; # invokes new for you

my $proxy = BrowserMob::Proxy->new(server_port => 63638);

new_har

After creating a proxy, new_har creates a new HAR attached to the proxy and returns the HAR content if there was a previous one. If no argument is passed, the initial page ref will be "Page 1"; you can also pass a string to choose your own initial page ref.

$proxy->new_har;
$proxy->new_har('Google');

create

Create a new proxy. This method is automatically invoked upon instantiation, so you shouldn't have to call it unless you're doing something unexpected. In fact, if you do call it, things will probably get messed up.

delete_proxy

Shutdown the proxy and close the port. This is automatically invoked when the $proxy goes out of scope, so you shouldn't have to call this either. In fact, if you do call it, things will probably get messed up.
