Description
From the first glance Flashback looks quite similar to BrowserMob Proxy. Both are HTTP(S) MITM proxies written in Java. BMP focuses on recording HAR (http archive), simulating bandwidth and latency, and online request/response interception which may be used for both simple blacklisting and complete rewriting. The rewriting can be used for replay, but replay is not a core feature and may require more manual work than with Flashback.
Can Flashback devs which are aware of BMP (or even inspired by it!) comment on the two project differences?
