Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)

Proxyman 3.6.0

macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)

mac 12.3.1

I want to use Proxyman as request/response caching proxy so it will work like this

Browser sends request http://server-url.com/some/path
Proxyman checks if it has caching version of this URL. It has nothing so it sends request further to the server
Server responds
Proxyman caches that response for the url and sends back to browser
Browser sends the same request http://server-url.com/some/path
Proxyman intercepts the request and checks if there is cached version. Yes, there is a cached version so request doesn't not go to the server but Proxyman returns cached response

I'm not sure how implement it even with Mock API.

Unfortunately, Proxyman doesn't support this feature out of the box.

You can manually do it:

Make all requests from your app that you'd need to cache
Select all requests on the table view -> Right Click -> Tools -> Map Local
It will create all Map Local, which is similar to the caching layer.

I see but in Scripting documentation is said that it's possible to implement my own Map Local feature with Scripting and it will be 100x faster. So what was implied by that statement? It's not possible as written in documentation?

It means that you can use Scripting to write a code, which works the same as Map Local does.

Here is the Snippet code: https://docs.proxyman.io/scripting/snippet-code#map-a-local-file-to-responses-body-like-map-local-tool-proxyman-2.25.0+
