NEFilterBrowserFlow not available for macos? Is there any other way I can access http request object content ??

It kinda depends on what you’re looking for. The unique thing about

NEFilterBrowserFlow

is that it will give you the plaintext for requests that are protected by TLS (that it, it’ll give you the HTTP inside HTTPS). With

NEFilterBrowserFlow

, there’s no way to do that. However, if your concern is HTTP specifically, you can glean those requests by parsing the outbound stream.

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@apple.com"

Platform : macos

My concern is both HTTP & HTTPS

1) want to work with connections originating from Browser

2) I want the filename of file getting upload from the http header

Http request var is available in the NEFilterBrowserFlow

Now, as NEFilterBrowserFlow is not available for macos

Is it possible ??

I want the filename of file getting upload from the http header

OK. Assuming that the site is using HTTPS, that requires you to undo the TLS protection. Apple doesn’t provide any infrastructure to help you with that, but there are standard industry techniques that work at least some of the time (search the ’net for “HTTPS inspection”). It’s not something I’d recommend that, because it has a significant impact on the system overall.

same above question

is it possible for http ??

Thanks !!!

HTTP is a strict subset of HTTPS, at least in this case. In HTTPS you have three challenges:

• Bypassing the TLS protection (A)

• Parsing HTTP/1.1 streams into HTTP messages (B)

• Parsing HTTP 2 streams into HTTP messages (C)

In HTTP two of those go away (A and C), leaving just one (B).
