HTTP Tunnel

Learn how to start a http tunnel using portr

Use the following command to tunnel an HTTP connection.

portr http 9000

Or start it with a custom subdomain:

portr http 9000 --subdomain amal-test

This also starts the portr inspector on http://localhost:7777, where you can inspect and replay HTTP requests.

How it works

When you run the HTTP tunnel command:

  1. Portr connects to your configured server
  2. Creates a secure tunnel from your local port to a public URL
  3. Starts the request inspector interface locally
  4. Routes all incoming requests through the tunnel to your local service

Inspector Features

The Portr inspector provides powerful debugging capabilities:

  • Request inspection: View all incoming HTTP requests in real-time
  • Request replay: Replay any request with modifications
  • Headers analysis: Examine request and response headers
  • Payload viewing: Inspect request and response bodies

Common Use Cases

  • Local web development: Share your local development server with others
  • Webhook testing: Receive webhooks from external services during development
  • API debugging: Test API integrations with external services
  • Demo presentations: Show your work to clients or team members
