Betwixt

Betwixt is a straightforward, efficient and lightweight piece of software that helps you with web debugging by enabling you to intercept the responses and requests and analyze the network traffic.

Starting with the application quite easy, with you only needing to unzip its archive and to launch it via the available executable file.

Before anything else, to capture the web traffic, you are required to reroute it through the local proxy automatically created by Betwixt (http://127.0.0.1:8008)

At this point, you have two possibilities: you can either capture and analyze the traffic system-wide or you can only capture the web traffic outside your browser of choice.

Once you have configured the system settings or just your web browser, the app automatically starts capturing the responses and requested and displays them within an intuitive and simplistic user interface that you might find familiar if you have ever worked with Chrome DevTools.

You get an accurate description about the timing and about how everything reacts thanks to a useful timeline bar, located in the upper part of the main window.

With the help of the app's contextual menu, you can copy the response headers, just the response, save it as HAR, open the link in a new tab or simply copy the link address.

You can narrow down your searches for a particular response by using custom filters, or you can choose to only view XHR, JS, CSS, Img, Media, Font, Doc and WS responses.

Taking everything into consideration, Betwixt is a useful tool for those looking for a streamlined way to find possible problems between the requests and responses outside their browsers and perform basic web debugging.

With its simplistic approach, it is clearly not intended to be the ultimate tool for web debugging and, thanks to its intuitive and popular interface based on the Chrome DevTools panel, it has the great advantage of being very novice-accessible.
