## What it is
HTTP Toolkit is an open-source desktop application for intercepting, inspecting, and rewriting HTTP(S) traffic on Windows, Linux, and Mac. It offers one-click interception for browsers, mobile apps, Docker containers, and backend processes, plus traffic mocking and a built-in HTTP client.

## Use cases
- debug http api requests and responses
- intercept https traffic from android app
- mock api responses for testing
- capture traffic from docker containers
- inspect http headers and bodies
- rewrite http requests with breakpoints
- debug traffic from node.js or python scripts

## When to choose
- you need to debug or inspect HTTP(S) traffic from clients, apps, or containers with minimal setup
- you want one-click interception for Android, browsers, Docker, or backend processes
- you need to mock, redirect, or rewrite HTTP responses during development or testing

## When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight CLI proxy or curl-style request tool
- you need non-HTTP protocol debugging like raw TCP, WebSocket-heavy, or gRPC (limited support)
- you require a fully free tool for advanced automated mocking, which is gated behind the Pro tier
