Charles Web Debugging Proxy

Monday, October 8th, 2007

We recently were debugging issues with our document uploader in Intervals and needed to throttle the bandwidth on our desktops so we could test the progress meter over our LAN (Typically, the LAN is too fast and the progress meter never appears).

A definite thumbs up for this product, as we were easily able to troubleshoot and debug the document upload in a matter of minutes.
