Map Local (File)

1. What's it?

The Map Local Tool enables you to use the content of local files as an HTTP Response to your requests.

2. Benefits

• Define a Response with Status Code, Headers, and Body -> Mock to a given Request -> Easily to test some edge cases without waiting for the server's update.

• Mock Fake API with a local File: It's useful for developers to try out the testing APIs that are not in production.

With an HTTP Message

1. Right Click on your request on the main table -> Tools -> Map Local -> Proxyman will automatically create a new rules with a current Response

2. Feel free to change the Status Code, Headers and the JSON Body

3. Done

4. Re-sent your request -> New Response is mapped.

With a Local File

• Click on the Select Local File button and select any files. Supports: Text, JSON, Binary, Image

With <FILE_URL> flag

• It's useful to map to a given file and able to provide the Status Code and Response Headers.

• Work with JSON, Text, Binary, Image etc

• Make sure to provide Content-Type header, so your client can work properly

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

<FILE_URL="~/Desktop/myjson.json">

2. How to use

1. Right-click on the Request (which already has a Response) -> Tools -> Map Local. Proxyman will create a rule with the current Response Body (The file is stored in your Desktop folder)

2. We can directly change the Response body.

3. Make a request and observe the new Response Body.
