any suggestion/ideas how to have chucker intercept a dedicate/manual connection such as https://github.com/tus/tus-android-client?

[gammax]

Not really 🤔 Chucker works as an OkHTTP interceptor

[miqbaldc]

ah, i see, it’s coupled to okhttp

[miqbaldc]

we’re looking another alternative to intercept http connection, have you any suggestion?

[gammax]

Charles proxy?

[miqbaldc]

find the alternative an opensource version to intercept http(s) network for android

We can think of an alternative for chucker like tying chucker to android’s HTTPConnection same like what AppSpector and Instabug does. Creating a gradle plugin which will instrument the http connection class to add some interface at compile time.

So there was a discussion in trying to make Chucker client agnostic, so we could work with OkHTTP, KTor or others.

[Nikhil]

Oh okay. So what was the decision?
are we thinking in that direction? what are other platforms under consideration/discussion?

[gammax]

I believe we want to move in that direction in the long run

[Nikhil]

Nice. We can try running PoCs for those platforms.

[gammax]

What do you mean “try running PoCs”? Do you have a branch to share?

[Nikhil]

Not yet. But I can.
I need some direction like how do we want to proceed making chucker agnostic.
