Description
Description
If you use a filter in WebSoket flow, as usual, you find only one message from a few that you need (for example, you find a request, and after that, you need to check the response for this message)
For now, I use a filter to find a request (and got a list with 5 messages)
I decided I need the second message (and want to check surrounding messages)
But if I remove the filter, the selection of the message will be reset (the first message in the WebSocket flow will be selected)
So, I need:
- Find the message
- Remember the "time" when the message was sent
- Remove a filter
- Scroll WebSocket flow to the time that I remembered
- Finally, read the surrounding messages
I see the following ideas on how to make it more convenient:
- Stay focused on the selected message when I remove a filter (as it works for a filter for HTTP requests in Proxyman)
- Add the optional mode: instead of "filter" (I mean "hide all messages that do not match to filter) add option to "highlight all messages that match to filter" (as it works in Fiddler Classic)
I mean "highlight the found messages and do NOT hide all other messages"
Why this feature/change is important?
Because the Proxyman is the best WebSocket proxy for MacOS of course!
And - big thank you for that!
