One-Click Switching of Whistle Proxy Rules with Alfred

In my current work, I frequently use Whistle proxy for web module development. Because of different environments and projects, I often need to switch proxy rules. Using the web GUI operation is still too inefficient, so I decided to create a workflow to improve switching efficiency.

Effect

Operation Guide

Implementation Details

Here are the key points of the implementation:

1. To implement ⇧ for preview, I made the rules into local files because quicklook must point to HTTP network file URLs or local resource URIs. Since the overall speed is very fast, users don’t notice. However, compared to ⇧, I prefer ⌘L for magnified preview, which has a better effect
2. The workflow essentially just uses a different method to call the API. You just need to find the key rule acquisition and rule selection/deselection APIs through GUI request capture.
