NAME

Browsermob::Server - Perl client to control the Browsermob Proxy server

VERSION

version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

    my $server = Browsermob::Server->new(
        path => '/path/to/browsermob-proxy'
    );
    $server->start;
    my $proxy = $server->create_proxy;

    print $proxy->port;
    $proxy->create_har('Test');
    # generate traffic across your port
    $proxy->har; # returns a HAR

Alternatively, assuming there's a BMP server on 63636 for example,

    my $server = Browsermob::Server->new(
        port => 63636
    );
    my $proxy = $server->create_proxy;

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a way to control the Browsermob Proxy server within Perl. There are only a few public methods for starting and stopping the server. You also have the option of instantiating a server object and pointing it towards an existing BMP server on localhost, and just using it to avoid having to pass the server_port arg when instantiating new proxies.

ATTRIBUTES

path

The path to the browsermob_proxy binary. If you aren't planning to call start, this is optional.

port

The port on which the proxy server should run. This is not the port that you should have other clients connect.

METHODS

start

Start a browsermob proxy on port. Starting the server does not create any proxies.

stop

Stop the forked browsermob-proxy server. This does not work all the time, although the server seems to get GC'd all on its own, even after ignoring a SIGTERM.

create_proxy

After starting the server, or connecting to an existing one, use create_proxy to get a proxy that you can use with your tests. No proxies actually exist until you call create_proxy; starting the server does not create a proxy.

    my $proxy = $bmp->create_proxy; # returns a Browsermob::Proxy object
    my $proxy = $bmp->create_proxy(port => 1337);

get_proxies

Get a list of currently registered proxies.

    my $proxy_aref = $bmp->get_proxies->{proxyList};
    print scalar @$proxy_aref;
