What I’m basically trying to do is create a command line alternative to widecap

  • 0

What I’m basically trying to do is create a command line alternative to widecap. How I imagine this thing to work:

  1. External application calls my command line tool and passes the proxy as an argument
  2. The command line tool launches and redirects all web traffic for the application that called it through the proxy that was passed as an argument
  3. External application closes the command line tool after it’s done

The reason why I don’t want to implement the proxy support directly into the external application’s code is that I will not always be writing the external applications. I want it to be a separate tool that can be used by anyone.

Any directions/feedback/suggestions/links/ideas that you could give me will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Just to be more clear, I would like to see a code example in C# that demonstrates how I can “hook” on a running process and tunnel all its web traffic through a proxy.

    You can not do what are you asking for without decompiling/disassembling the external program and editing its code to do what are you asking for.
    Another solution would be to program your C# application to capture the packets of the external application and redirecting them to your proxy server. This will be difficult to achieve but it will solve your problem.
