Recording Settings
Configures the recording behaviour of Charles.
Recording Size Limits
When Charles records, all of the request and response headers and bodies are stored in memory. This can result in quickly running out of memory if you download large files. Therefore the size limits control the maximum sizes that are recorded by Charles. It does not affect your Internet browsing in any way – just what is recorded in Charles.
You can set different size limits for the following response types:
- HTML
- Text
- Images
- Binary
You can also set a size limit for:
- POST request data
The goal with the recording size limits is not to set them too high that you fill up your available memory, and not to set them too low so that you don’t miss recording information you may be interested in.
Ignore
A list of locations to ignore when recording. You can also add to this list using the contextual menu on the host name in the Structure view.
