How to troubleshoot live issues

Clientside issues

  • Try to run manual breakpoints / debugger statements
  • if ^ doesn't work use proxyman to inspect the requests
  • if it isn't a payload/request issue, then use proxyman to map a local copy and add debugger & console logs

With Proxyman & devtools

  • Figure out where the important paths are and turn off the debuggers during those or you'll be too slow to get to the important parts.
  • in proxyman you can easily enable/disable the proxy (proxy can make lots of other requests really slow) with cmd+option+o

Proxyman gotchas

  • proxyman will change the system proxies from automatic (set by PP?) to web proxy and secure web proxy. I'm fairly certain that zscaler freaks out because it's proxy is turned off. So adding https://www.paypal.com under the bypass list in system->prefs->advanced->proxies fixes ALL the timing out issues for pp.com... YES
