According the the Charles Proxy configuration page, you can manually set up a proxy if you use your localhost with port 8080.
The syntax is curl --proxy localhost:8080 http://google.com/
However, this is not working for me. Here is my syntax and results - i'm also using the -v option for debugging:
curl -v --proxy localhost:8080 http://google.com/
* About to connect() to proxy localhost port 8080 (#0)
* Trying 127.0.0.1... Connection refused
* Trying ::1... Connection refused
* Trying fe80::1... Connection refused
* couldn't connect to host
* Closing connection #0
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
I can connect to localhost:8080 in the web browser, and the results are logged in the proxy. However this is not working, the connecting is refused and nothing is logged.
So far I have also tried:
- executing this as root
- using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
- using wget instead of curl
- disabling the system firewall
What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?
