Show HN: DrHTTP – Stop guessing the HTTP payloads that went through your APIs

10 pointsby pmarecover 5 years ago
DrHTTP (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drhttp.com&#x2F;) provides a simple web UI showing all http requests &amp; responses (including full payloads) that flowed in your server.<p>Let&#x27;s say you (backend developer) run a json over rest API in production. A client opens a ticket saying he received wrong data 3 days ago at 10:00 am. You see no exception in your reporting tool (sentry, newrelic, etc.), you don&#x27;t have business oriented logs for this situation, current data in your DB looks fine, I think you might get value from the http payload of the user. DrHTTP gives it to you.<p>I&#x27;m at a point where I have a working prototype and i&#x27;d like to validate the usefullness of it. I use it on the few projects i work on. Typically to detect if a wrong data issue comes from backend or frontend&#x2F;mobile, share a payload snapshot with other devs. Friends&#x2F;network showed me interest from day one but none of them is in position of using it in his company. I&#x27;m aware of a few issues i might face once going in production : pricing, privacy, scaling, performance impact, etc.. I&#x27;d love to tackle them, i just want to validate the need first.<p>Your feedbacks are very welcome on how you would see benefit using it &#x2F; you want to use it.<p>Thanks in advance to the community :)
