Charles v3.3 released

I’ve released Charles v3.3 today. This release adds several new and exciting features including:

  • HTML, CSS & RSS/Atom validation
  • XML export formats
  • JSONP support

I’ve blogged previously about these, and other new features, so I’m just going to link through to those! Read the first announcement and the second announcement.

The next release of Charles will focus on improving various UI and usability features. Particularly the ability to focus in on a small set of hosts, so you don’t get cluttered with others. Also I’ll be making improvements to the Sequence view; probably some sorting. I’ve received lots of suggestions along these lines; if you have anything to add please leave a comment with your thoughts!

    Hey, the ware is really good.

    The only question I have is:
    is there a way to set up some dummy login/pass for the proxy?
    I need this feature as I have to check whether our proxy configuration fully supports some kind of generic proxies, and proxy host and port is not enough to be sure.

    I know that this should not be used for most of other scenarios (anyway this is a local/personal proxy product) – searhing the docs also didn’t surface this option/feature.

    Thanks in advance,
    Anton

    @Anton Thanks for your email. I’m sorry Charles doesn’t support itself asking for a username and password; you can however connect Charles to an external proxy which does ask. I’m sorry I don’t have plans to add this to Charles.

    Hi Karl,

    As always I’m continually impressed by the development of this incredble tool. I now consider it an essential part of my development toolkit.. Truly awesome.

    I just tried out the XML export function and wanted to ask you something. I just tried to load it up in the IE XML viewer but it fails due to an invalid character in some of the actual HTML stored.
    I know XML is very funny about what characters are allowed which will break a number of XML import tools or functions in programming languages.

    Is there any way you can format the content so that it is XML safe?

    I have no use for this at the moment but I must admit that it’s got me thinking how useful this could be in future.

    Is there a way to start/stop the monitor and export the results using command prompt options? I’m looking at using Ant to trigger Charles.

    - Thanks.

    Thanks for your message Karl. Is there a time frame you have in mind for including these features?

    Would love to see some rtmp connection monitoring going on. Now that the rtmp specs are available from Adobe, would this be feasible?
