We now have one option "proxyauth". If this is "any", we accept any
credentials, if it starts with an @ it's treated as a path to an htpasswd file,
if it is of the form username:password it's a single-user credential.
- Regularise presentation and wording
- Help is mandatory for all options
- Auto-generate wording to say that sequence options can be passed multiple
times on the command-line
We now have --set, so only options that really deserve it get a dedicated flag.
I'm inclined to strip this back even more. Feel free to argue that YOUR
favourite option deserves special treatment here.
The --set option is a universal flag for setting options. Some examples:
Turn on a boolean:
mitmdump --set onboarding=false
Add a value to a sequence:
mitumdupm --set setheaders=/foo/bar/voing
Zero a sequence:
mitumdupm --set setheaders
We now have:
--mode regular (the default)
--mode transparent
--mode socks5
--mode reverse:SPEC
--mode upstream:SPEC
Where SPEC is a host specification.
Start dealing with corner cases:
- Sizes are always stored in options as strings
- Add a new core addon that's responsible for verifying settings that don't
belong to an addon
- Add a _processed scratch space on the Options object for processed core
values to be stored in. This is pretty dirty, but less dirty than re-parsing
values every time. We'll come up with something better down the track.
This commit:
- Adds a help field to options
- Adds a function to generate parser definitions from options
- Uses this to migrate all boolean flags over to the new system
- Makes all booleans consistently follow the --foo/--not-foo convention
There are a number of things left to be done here:
- Argparse doesn't give us a nice way to format --foo --not-foo help. Click
does, and moving to click is a goal down the track.
- For now, we remove all short aliases. I want to re-evaluate these
systematically once we have the new structure in place.
