Missofis Request Interceptor Extension

Redirect HTTP requests with simple hosts file-like syntax, block website images with string matches.

Missofis Request Interceptor is a request interceptor for those who simply want to redirect a public URL to a local one. Think it is as an enhanced hosts file right under your browser toolbar.

Usage:

The extension comes with two features, \"redirections\" and \"matches\".

- Redirections are simple URL rewrites. If you add \"localhost:3000/my-local-script.js example.com/my-live-script.js\" line to the redirections then \"https://example.com/my-live-script.js\" will be rewritten as \"https://localhost:3000/my-local-script.js\". With the same logic, you may redirect a complete remote folder to a local one.
- Matches are different. They are plain request blockers. Provide a URL match like \"cdn.example.com/assets/img\" and all image request to those assets folder will be blocked.
- Syntax for redirections is \"localhost:3000/my-local-script.js example.com/my-live-script.js\". Two space separated strings separated with any number of spaces.
- Syntax for mathces is \"cdn.example.com/assets/img\". A single string to match image URLs.
- Comments are welcome with lines starting with # symbol.

What you can't do:

- You can't edit HTTP headers
- No regex support
- You can't top Content-Security-Policy response headers

Warning:

- This is a developer tool for experienced users. Redirections may result in catastrophes. So if you're not an experienced user, please consider not using this extension or get some help from someone.
- Avoid generic matchers like \"my-local\" \"example.com\". This extension is developed to debug a remote script with a local development environment. Nothing more than that. Generic matchers may also result \"too many redirections\" errors to be thrown by browsers.
- This tool is not an ad blocker.
