The current CacheBrowser software is a research prototype implementation, and is not yet ready for end-users. If you are a researcher or developer check it out and give us feedback, otherwise please be patient while we work on an end-user version of the code. Thanks for your understanding and support!
python setup.py install
To run the CacheBrowser process simply enter the cachebrowser command
cachebrowser
Once running you use CacheBrowser by setting the HTTP proxy on your browser to localhost:8080
You could also run a command with CacheBrowser:
cachebrowser <command>
These are the valid commands you could give:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
