Introduction: Mocking And Manipulating API Behavior With A Local Proxy Server – Part 1

When it comes to developing against an HTTPS/REST API, which we do not control ourselves, we face many problems regularly.

Even though all those issues sound very different, they have one thing in common: the application does not receive the desired HTTPS responses. So, we are looking for ways to make us independent from the HTTPS API at development time. Wouldn’t it be nice, if there was a single tool to rule them all?
