[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mitmproxy/mitmproxy.png)](https://travis-ci.org/mitmproxy/mitmproxy) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/badge.png)](https://coveralls.io/r/mitmproxy/mitmproxy)

__mitmproxy__ is an interactive, SSL-capable man-in-the-middle proxy for HTTP
with a console interface.

__mitmdump__ is the command-line version of mitmproxy. Think tcpdump for HTTP.

__libmproxy__ is the library that mitmproxy and mitmdump are built on.

Documentation, tutorials and distribution packages can be found on the
mitmproxy.org website:

[mitmproxy.org](http://mitmproxy.org).


Features
--------

- Intercept HTTP requests and responses and modify them on the fly.
- Save complete HTTP conversations for later replay and analysis.
- Replay the client-side of an HTTP conversations.
- Replay HTTP responses of a previously recorded server.
- Reverse proxy mode to forward traffic to a specified server.
- Transparent proxy mode on OSX and Linux.
- Make scripted changes to HTTP traffic using Python.
- SSL certificates for interception are generated on the fly.
- And much, much more.


Requirements
------------

* [Python](http://www.python.org) 2.7.x.
* [netlib](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/netlib), version matching mitmproxy.
* [PyOpenSSL](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyOpenSSL) 0.13 or newer.
* [pyasn1](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyasn1) 0.1.2 or newer.
* [urwid](http://excess.org/urwid/) version 1.1 or newer.
* [PIL](http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) version 1.1 or newer.
* [lxml](http://lxml.de/) version 2.3 or newer.
* [flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) version 0.9 or newer.

Optional, for extended content decoding:

* [PyAMF](http://www.pyamf.org/) version 0.6.1 or newer.
* [protobuf](https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/) version 2.5.0 or newer.

__mitmproxy__ is tested and developed on OSX, Linux and OpenBSD. Windows is not
officially supported at the moment.


Hacking
-------

The following components are needed if you plan to hack on mitmproxy:

* The test suite uses the [nose](http://readthedocs.org/docs/nose/en/latest/) unit testing
  framework and requires [pathod](http://pathod.org) and [flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/).
* Rendering the documentation requires [countershape](http://github.com/cortesi/countershape).

For convenience, all dependencies save countershape, can be installed from pypi to a virtualenv with 'pip install -r requirements.txt'.

Please ensure that all patches are accompanied by matching changes in the test
suite. The project maintains 100% test coverage.

Add README.txt for PyPi. Yes, this means we now maintain two complete README files that are identical except for markup. We distribute with only README.txt, so README.mkd can actually move in to the documentation tree at some point. 2012-02-25 00:16:30 +00:00			`[mitmproxy.org](http://mitmproxy.org).`
