@babuji No, it only affects you when using Charles. It’s completely safe, unless you forget that you’ve done it and end up chasing your tail wondering why you can’t see changes to the live files. In Charles it reports localled mapped files in the response HTTP headers to help avoid that.

Hi Patrick, an oversight! It doesn’t! I will work on that this week and get it working for 3.0.3. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Does the Map Local function work for https? I can’t seem to get it up and running.

Thank you both for your feedback and suggestions – they drive the development of Charles!

Martin, thanks for that bug report. I did indeed forget to close the file! I’ll upload a new beta version in an hour or so that will include that fix, a few others, and one last feature I couldn’t resist (it was requested by a close friend!).

Even though I had requested the playback or requests (which is awesome I must admit), so far I’m finding the mapping to local files of immense value.

One thing I’m running into though is that Charles seems to be holding onto the file after its already been served. Its perhaps related to garbage collection since sometimes if I wait a while I can republish the SWF I’m dealing with problem free, but often I get Flash telling me that it can’t publish because the file is in use.

Awesome feature either way since I can restart Charles extremely quickly anyway.

I love the ability to repeat a group of requests a number of times. Great for ad-hoc performance testing.
