Simulate Network Conditions Add latency, throttle bandwidth, or block requests to test under poor network conditions
Browser Impersonation Mimic specific browsers with TLS fingerprinting and header profiles for testing
Session Management Capture and replay authentication cookies and headers across requests
Track Process Origins Identify which application or process generated each request
Interactive Debugging Set breakpoints to pause and manually inspect or modify traffic in real-time
Tag & Annotate Add comments and colored tags to organize and document captured exchanges

Exchange Table

The exchange table serves as the central interface of Fluxzy Desktop, functioning as the primary workspace where users interact with captured network traffic. It displays every HTTP request/response pair (referred to as an "exchange") flowing through the proxy in real-time.

Each row in the table represents a complete network round-trip: a request sent to a server and the corresponding response received. This provides a comprehensive overview of all network conversations between monitored applications and remote servers.

Displayed Information

The table columns present essential information for each exchange at a glance:

Column Description
Host The destination hostname
Path The requested endpoint URL path
Method The HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)
Status Code The response status code indicating success or failure
Content Type The response format (JSON, HTML, XML, images, etc.)
Size The response payload size
Duration The total request/response time
Process The originating application (when process tracking is enabled)

exchange table fluxzy desktop v2 Users may customize the displayed columns, adjust their order, and modify column widths according to their preferences.

Filtering Capabilities

The exchange table integrates directly with Fluxzy's comprehensive filtering system. Right-clicking on any value within the table allows users to instantly filter the view to display only matching exchanges. Filters may be combined using AND logic (Ctrl+click) or OR logic (Shift+click), and filter history navigation enables quick switching between different filtered views.

Available Actions

Selecting one or more exchanges provides access to several operations:

  • Compare two exchanges in a side-by-side diff view
  • Export selected exchanges as cURL commands, HAR files, or other supported formats
  • Set breakpoints on specific URLs for live debugging sessions
  • Create rules targeting similar traffic patterns
  • Copy request details to the clipboard

Role in the Workflow

The exchange table functions as the primary entry point for network investigation and debugging workflows. Users identify anomalies or points of interest within the table, then navigate to detailed views for full header and body inspection, create modification rules for matching traffic, or establish breakpoints for interactive debugging sessions.

Right panel

Right panel is the main panel of the application. It shows the content of the request and the response that's currently selected in the left panel.
