Minimal ASP.NET MVC app using Dev Proxy

Summary

This sample demonstrates the minimal setup to use Dev Proxy with an ASP.NET MVC application. It shows how to configure Dev Proxy to intercept API requests and mock responses using the MockResponsePlugin. The sample makes a single API call to JSONPlaceholder from a controller and displays the mocked response in a Razor view.

How it works

1. When the home page is loaded, the controller makes a GET request to https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
