httpflow: Use a regular expression to filter requests by URLs.
$ httpflow -u '${regular_expression}'
try on your machine

The command httpflow -u '${regular_expression}' is using the tool httpflow to filter and capture network traffic based on a regular expression.

Here is a breakdown of the command components:

  • httpflow: It is the name of the tool being used.
  • -u: It is a flag or option for the httpflow tool, indicating that we want to use a specific regular expression for filtering.
  • '${regular_expression}': It is the regular expression itself, enclosed in single quotes ('), which allows for matching specific patterns or text within the network traffic.

The regular expression ('${regular_expression}') should be replaced with an actual regular expression that defines the pattern of traffic to be captured. Regular expressions are a powerful way to match and filter data based on specific criteria, such as URLs, IP addresses, headers, etc. By providing a regular expression, httpflow will only capture network traffic that matches the specified pattern.
