Can't set enableSOCKSProxy true

[KonstantinEfimenko]

I can't track queries by Charles Proxy. Looks like it already was solved in Starscream daltoniam/Starscream@b074c6c, but I can't reach this property due to internal access level of websocket in WebSocketTransport

I think we're trying to keep from directly exposing the web socket, but I can probably add a property to update this.

[designatednerd]

Hey @fassko Can you think of any major wormholes I'm opening doing this? 😇

[fassko]

@designatednerd Hmm, honestly hard to say. I'm not so proficient about proxies. :)

About Starscream and Websockets our long term plan should be using Apple's provided Websocket solution anyways.

[designatednerd]

Isn't Starscream already doing that under the hood?

Also we support back to iOS 9 so it's gonna be a WHILE before we can drop the non-apple stuff 😭

[fassko]

Maybe it does, but I have not used it myself. Currently I won't have time to look into that cause I'm dealing with all the mess going on on the planet right now.

[designatednerd]

TOTALLY fair! My productivity has been 💩the last few weeks myself.

Shipped with 0.25.0. Up for SPM and Carthage, publishing to CocoaPods trunk now.

Hey @KonstantinEfimenko , how did you setup Charles to watch for subscriptions? I tried several different configurations (after setting enableSOCKSProxy to true), but none seem to work 😞

[designatednerd]

Heads up that this has been removed in more recent versions because Starscream itself removed support for it - I have a sneaking suspicion it may have been a bit flaky.

[Robuske]

Oh... I am using an outdated version at the moment because we had no time to upgrade =/
Is there any alternative to subscription debugging @designatednerd?

[designatednerd]

Using the debugger to pause on new items or to print new data received is probably going to be your best bet.

It's a bit unclear to me from the discussion above. Can someone confirm if Apollo Subscriptions can or cannot be monitored using Charles, and if so how?

[designatednerd]

It was possible before we upgraded to Starscream 4.0. Starscream 4.0 removed support for SOCKS proxying, and so we consequently had to remove support for it as well, unfortunately.
