Using Conductor As a Public Proxy

A SOASTA Conductor installed on a given machine acts as a publicly available proxy whenever installed on a public network.

 

HTTP(S) recording can be achieved from mobile devices with web browsers, such as the iPhone, by configuring a network proxy.

Note: The Conductor must be on a wireless network to work with wireless devices. The Conductor should also be running on the server machine when the proxy is configured.

  

To configure an iPhone to use a Conductor as a proxy:

  1. In Settings, Ensure that WiFi is set to "On"
  2. Select the blue arrow to the right of the WiFi where the Conductor is installed. The Wi-Fi Networks > <network name> page appears.
  3. Scroll down to the HTTP Proxy section and click the Manual tab.
  4. Enter the IP address of the Conductor proxy server machine. For example, 192.168.1.114
  5. Enter the Conductor proxy port. The default is 4440. If the Conductor was installed with another port, enter that port number instead.
