Problem description

in useCharlesWhen the tool captures packets, some application networks on the mobile phone will be unavailable, andCharlesAfter closing, the mobile phone has no network to use. You need to close the mobile agent before you can access the network normally.

However, the agent needs to be manually configured for the next packet capture, which is quite troublesome. Here, the automatic agent mode of the mobile phone can solve the problem of switching back and forth of agent configuration.

First, create a new oneproxy.pacThe contents of the document are as follows:,urlIs the request path,hostIs the domain name. You can configure whether to perform proxy according to these two parameters.
Code description means when the domain name isxxxSend the request to the proxy server with the address ofCharlesIf the domain name is notxxxThen proxy forwarding is not used,return "DIRECT";Indicates no proxy forwarding.

function FindProxyForURL(url, host){
    if(host == "xxxx" ) {
    return "PROXY 192.168.2.82:8888";
    }
    return "DIRECT";
}
