__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.

__mitmproxy__ is tested and developed on OSX, Linux and OpenBSD. On Windows,
only mitmdump is supported, which does not have a graphical user interface.

Hacking
-------
2014-09-09 00:18:08 +00:00
To get started hacking on mitmproxy, make sure you have
[Python](http://www.python.org) 2.7.x. with
[virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) installed (you can find
installation instructions for virtualenv
[here](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation.html)). Then do the
following:
2014-09-09 00:18:08 +00:00
```
$ git clone https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy.git
$ git clone https://github.com/mitmproxy/netlib.git
$ git clone https://github.com/mitmproxy/pathod.git
$ cd mitmproxy
$ ./dev
```
2010-02-16 04:09:07 +00:00
The *dev* script will create a virtualenv environment in a directory called
"venv.mitmproxy", and install all of mitmproxy's development requirements, plus
all optional modules. The primary mitmproxy components - mitmproxy, netlib and
pathod - are all installed "editable", so any changes to the source in the git
checkouts will be reflected live in the virtualenv.
2013-03-23 02:42:25 +00:00
To confirm that you're up and running, activate the virtualenv, and run the
mitmproxy test suite:
2015-03-14 01:42:50 +00:00
```shell
$ source ../venv.mitmproxy/bin/activate # ..\venv.mitmproxy\Scripts\activate.bat on Windows
$ nosetests ./test
2014-09-09 00:18:08 +00:00
```
Note that the main executables for the project - **mitmdump**, **mitmproxy** and
**mitmweb** - are all created within the virtualenv. After activating the
virtualenv, they will be on your $PATH, and you can run them like any other
command:
```$ mitmdump --version```
For convenience, the project includes an
[autoenv](https://github.com/kennethreitz/autoenv) file
([.env](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/.env)) that
auto-activates the virtualenv when you cd into the mitmproxy directory.
### Testing
If you've followed the procedure above, you already have all the development
requirements installed, and you can simply run the test suite:
```nosetests ./test```
Please ensure that all patches are accompanied by matching changes in the test
suite. The project maintains 100% test coverage.
### Docs
Rendering the documentation requires [countershape](http://github.com/cortesi/countershape). After installation, you can render the documentation to the doc like this:
`cshape doc-src doc`
