LittleProxy is a high-performance HTTP(S) proxy written in Java on top of the Netty networking library. It can be run standalone from the command line or embedded in Java projects via Maven, with support for request/response filtering and HTTPS man-in-the-middle interception through MITM extensions.
Use cases
- embed an http proxy in a java application
- intercept and filter http requests and responses
- capture https traffic with a mitm proxy for testing
- run a local forward proxy on port 8080
- build a web debugging or recording proxy
- monitor outbound http traffic from a jvm app
When to choose
- you need a programmable, embeddable HTTP proxy in a JVM project
- you want to filter or modify HTTP traffic with custom Java code
- you need HTTPS interception via MITM extensions like LittleProxy-mitm
- you want a stable, well-tested proxy built on Netty
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured end-user proxy GUI like Squid or mitmproxy
- your stack is not JVM-based
- you need SOCKS or non-HTTP protocol proxying
- you want a zero-code, configuration-only proxy setup
