Charles Proxy, SSL Proxying, host allowed, but requests are still encrypted

when i click on the host item, it says: "SSL Proxying enabled for this host" SSL proxying enabled for host

but when i try to see the requests, it says: "SSL Proxying not enabled for this host: enable in Proxy Settings, SSL locations" SSL proxying not working for requests

in my settings, i have added some hosts to try to get this to work. SSL proxying settings

it will work if i enable the wildcard "*", but i don't want to do that. i only want to enable SSL proxying to specific hosts, because if i enable for all, then some requests to other hosts will fail, because they are outside of my control, and i cannot configure all of them to trust my certificate.

Solution

  • adding the host name is not enough; IP addresses of the hosts need to be added, too:

    1. in list view, select item of interest; in the detail view, copy their host name

      select domain, then copy the host name

    2. one at a time, go through each of the sub items, and copy the IP address (don't include the port number) of the "Remote Address" field

      copy the "remote address" of each sub item of interest

    3. add all the IP addresses copied and domain names copied in the earlier steps to the Proxy > SSL Proxying Settings > SSL Proxying > Include list, then press "OK"

      add all the copied IP addresses and host names to the SSL Proxying "include" list

    4. clear the current session's data

      clear the current session's data

    5. done! all traffic captured from now on will be decrypted!
