# This scripts demonstrates how mitmproxy can switch to a second/different upstream proxy
# in upstream proxy mode.
#
# Usage: mitmdump
#   -s change_upstream_proxy.py
#   --mode upstream:http://default-upstream-proxy:8080/
#   --set connection_strategy=lazy
#   --set upstream_cert=false
#
# If you want to change the target server, you should modify flow.request.host and flow.request.port
