### Host Header
In reverse proxy mode, mitmproxy does not rewrite the host header. While often useful, this
may lead to issues with public web servers. For example, consider the following scenario:
$ python mitmdump -d -R http://example.com/ &
$ curl http://localhost:8080/
>> GET https://example.com/
Host: localhost:8080
User-Agent: curl/7.35.0
[...]
<< 404 Not Found 345B
Since the Host header doesn't match <samp>example.com</samp>, an error is returned.<br>
There are two ways to solve this:
<ol>
<li>Modify the hosts file of your OS so that example.com resolves to 127.0.0.1.</li>
<li>
Instruct mitmproxy to rewrite the host header by passing <kbd>&#8209;&#8209;setheader&nbsp;:~q:Host:example.com</kbd>.
However, keep in mind that absolute URLs within the returned document or HTTP redirects will cause the client application
to bypass the proxy.
