I like the look of the product, but there is no mention whatsoever of websockets in the docs.

That is the thing missing from Charles for our QA folks.

It is highly annoying to have to hook the iOS app up to Xcode just to be able to see the wss traffic when tracking down a bug.

I've successfully used Fiddler Classic as alternative to Charles to look at live websocket traffic when debugging things before. Websocket support in general is a bit of a hidden feature though since you need to go to the request that established the connection and double-click the websocket logo to the left on it, which opens a new panel showing its traffic.

The newer "Fiddler Everywhere" might also be able to do it, possibly even better, but I dislike the UI and I'm used to Classic so I've stuck to that.

Yep, websockets are coming later this year, but it's not done yet I'm afraid.

Tracked here: https://github.com/httptoolkit/httptoolkit/issues/36. You can subscribe to the GH issue for updates if you're interested.
