history
Project history and usage
Proxelar is a scriptable HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket inspection proxy.
Project history
The project is maintained under Emanuele Micheletti's account and presents itself as a local developer traffic-debugging tool.
Adoption history
The project documents installation through Homebrew, winget, Cargo, containers, and release binaries. These establish distribution channels without demonstrating adoption scale.
How it is used
Start proxelar, configure the client to use its proxy endpoint, and trust its generated local CA for HTTPS inspection. Lua hooks and rules can rewrite or mock traffic; sessions support capture reuse.
Why package nerds care
Proxelar packages a Rust proxy engine and several interfaces into one executable, with an embeddable proxyapi library and Lua-based customization.
