Safari Setup

  1. You must allow Safari to be remotely controlled by selecting "Allow Remote Automation" from Safari's "Develop" menu.
  2. You must install Selenium Wire's root certificate into your Mac's keystore by following these steps:
    • First extract the certificate with python -m seleniumwire extractcert. You should see a file called ca.crt in your current working directory.
    • Now open your Mac's Keychain Access utility (located in Applications > Utilities).
    • From the "File" menu, select "Import Items".
    • Browse to the ca.crt file you just extracted and import it.
    • Click on "Certificates" in the left hand side of the Key Chain Access utility and you should now see the Selenium Wire CA certificate listed.
    • Double-click the certificate in the right hand pane to open its properties.
    • At the top of the properties window that opens, expand the "Trust" section and select "Always Trust" in the top drop down menu.
    • Close the properties window (you may be prompted to enter your password).
    • Quit the Keychain Access utility.
  3. You need to tell Safari to use a proxy server for its HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
    • From Safari's "Safari" menu, open "Preferences".
    • Click the "Advanced" tab at the top.
    • Click the "Change Settings..." button for the "Proxies" option.
    • Check the "Web Proxy (HTTP)" checkbox and enter "localhost" in the server box, and a port (e.g. 12345) in the box next to it.
    • Check the "Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS)" checkbox and repeat the previous step for server and port.
    • Click "OK" on the proxies window, and then "Apply" on the network window before closing it.
