I am using Postman proxy for "capturing request and cookies"

Do I understand it correctly: Pressing "Capture requests" starts the proxy service. Pressing "Stop capturing requests" stops the service or ... only unchains the intercepting/logging hook but the proxy service still works on?? I hope for the first option.

Also the messages after starting and stopping the capturing is a bit confusing "Proxy connected", "Proxy disconnected". Is it still running and only the Postman UI gets connected or disconnected?

PS Actually the question is a bit related to programming and at least JVM behavior. I am running my java client application through a Postman proxy i.e. launching it with the command line like:

$ java -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=5555 myClient.jar

Then when I press "stop capturing requests" (stop proxy?) in Postman the client still works ok ...(I think moving automatically to the original server port?) is that JVM proxy selector magic or what?

  • This is not about programming, so it's off-topic here. There's a server administration sister site. – Marcus Müller Nov 08 '21 at 19:29
  • @MarcusMüller: You are right. But the answer (if you know it) is shorter than the redirection. – Talavera316 Nov 08 '21 at 19:34
  • That doesn't matter; if we allowed any questions with potentially short answers here, we could just forget about trying to stay on-topic all together. "Which of these three wines goes well with venison" has a very short answer, too. (also, your comment also takes longer than asking a question on the server site, so kindly do that.) – Marcus Müller Nov 08 '21 at 19:37
  • @MarcusMüller Yes Sir. But by "sister site" do you mean some other portal I should repost the question. Or only tagging this post with "server-administration" - what I just have done. – Talavera316 Nov 08 '21 at 19:52
