Tamper: Chrome devtools extension for capturing and editing HTTP requests

I built this tool because I had a lot of production issues where I needed to make some changes and test them. I couldn't use devtools' Elements or Sources panel since I had to make this changes available as the page loads (inline script changes, css url changes, etc...).

I tried using Fiddler and similar alternatives (Charles, Burp), but:

1. When running it on the Mac you need to run a VM.

2. Fiddler shows you ALL the requests made by you're machine.

3. Moving between Fiddler, Chrome and Sublime is just annoying.

Since it's running a proxy server (it's actually based on http://www.mitmproxy.org) on your machine, it's also very useful when you want to test things on mobile devices.

Since Fiddler is just a proxy listening on port 8888, you can use some proxy profile extension like SwitchySharp in Chrome to control it, make only necessary urls access through fiddler.

This seems like a really great tool, but it doesn't appear to to work on Linux.
