Replacing HTTP responses from a specific URL in Windows

I have some software which makes a request to a specific URL in internet and I want it to receive my custom response. Is there any software tool for that on Windows? Also it would be nice if I could map a regexp instead of specific URL

Found the solution myself:

Set the domain of the URL to point to 127.0.0.1 in windows hosts file
Install nginx and set it up to show your file for the request response to which you're willing to modify and proxy all other requests to the original server

Thanks, but it only seems to work with browser. What I need is for it to capture all HTTP traffic in Windows so that I could manipulate responses on the top level. – Nikita Volkov – 2011-01-30T14:09:45.150
