Little Sniffer

It's like Sniffer, but not global.

LittleSniffer aims to help:

• Watch for needed http requests (request groups) and passing their raw data to provided handler. It doesn't store data!

Sniffer supports only Net::HTTP for now, however PR's are welcomed

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'little_sniffer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install little_sniffer

Usage

Here's some simple examples to get you started:

require 'net/http'
require 'little_sniffer'

handler = proc { |data| puts data }

LittleSniffer.new(handler: handler) do
  Net::HTTP.get(URI('http://example.com/?lang=ruby&author=matz'))
end

# => {:request=>
#   {:host=>"example.com",
#    :query=>"/?lang=ruby&author=matz",
