Replacing HTTP responses from a specific URL in Windows

Question

I have some software which makes a request to a specific URL in internet and I want it to receive my custom response. Is there any software tool for that on Windows? Also it would be nice if I could map a regexp instead of specific URL

Answer 1

Found the solution myself:

1. Set the domain of the URL to point to 127.0.0.1 in windows hosts file
2. Install nginx and set it up to show your file for the request response to which you're willing to modify and proxy all other requests to the original server
