What kind of pro plans do you have in mind for this? I could use this for demonstrating slight UI changes of a design, but I would want it to be private.

I completely agree on the ability to make private "haxx". This could be a very useful tool, if they gave that option!

Yep. Private plans + a whole raft of other features I didn't have time to implement (SSL support, regex substitution on html, basic auth support etc etc). Any other suggestions?

May be optional code obfuscation.

This is a great idea, although for productive use I'd prefer that as a browser extension or bookmarklet, rather than having to visit a foreign website (haxx.ly). On the other hand, that separate website is a comfortable way to show my results to others.

Stylebot (chrome extension) lets you do that. That's actually what I use for HN, by example.

It's a really good extension. Click it, click directly on your page to select a DOM element, enter any valid CSS, and it's saved for your next visit.

Isn't this a fertile ground for exploits? Session hijacking comes first to mind.

I've given some thought to that - it uses the same mechanisms as jsfiddle (different domains) and you can view the haxx code. As such CSRF should be fine and SSL isn't supported on public haxxlies.

I however, wouldn't recommend signing in through the service :)

I'm not sure but, if this all sends requests from a single domain; it will be treated as a visitor-tracking-malfunction issue. I wouldn't like that if I'd have ads or related stuff like that in my site customized and viewed through here.

I do my best by forwarding the client through with x-fowarded-for however it's completely up to the provider.

That said there's nothing to stop the haxx disabling/hiding ads or the visitor running Adblock for that matter.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Any particular URLs? Does http://www.haxx.ly/h/28 as an example?

Me too, on all URLs including the one you posted.

If you wouldn't mind, please send me an email with your browser: mike@haxx.ly

Thanks heaps!
