When developing and testing websites, being able to modify HTTP requests can be incredibly useful. Whether you need to test new features, fix bugs, or simulate different user scenarios, having control over these requests can save a lot of time and effort.
Requestly is a handy browser extension for Chrome that makes this easy. It allows developers and QA engineers to intercept and change HTTP requests without any hassle. You can create custom rules to redirect URLs, change query parameters, block requests, and more. In this blog, we’ll show you how Requestly can help you in your development and testing tasks, making your work smoother and more efficient.
