Maximilian Hils 83f8522981 docs: remove option directive
inserting " .. option::" tags create ugly markup, so we just ditch this
entirely and continue using refs.

mitmdump
========
**mitmdump** is the command-line companion to mitmproxy. It provides
tcpdump-like functionality to let you view, record, and programmatically
transform HTTP traffic. See the ``--help`` flag output for complete
documentation.
Examples
--------
Saving traffic
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>> mitmdump -w outfile
Start up mitmdump in proxy mode, and write all traffic to **outfile**.
Filtering saved traffic
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>> mitmdump -nr infile -w outfile "~m post"
Start mitmdump without binding to the proxy port (``-n``), read all flows from
infile, apply the specified filter expression (only match POSTs), and write to
outfile.
Client replay
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>> mitmdump -nc outfile
Start mitmdump without binding to the proxy port (``-n``), then replay all
requests from outfile (``-c filename``). Flags combine in the obvious way, so
you can replay requests from one file, and write the resulting flows to
another:
>>> mitmdump -nc srcfile -w dstfile
See the :ref:`clientreplay` section for more information.
Running a script
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>> mitmdump -s examples/add_header.py
This runs the **add_header.py** example script, which simply adds a new header
to all responses.
Scripted data transformation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>> mitmdump -ns examples/add_header.py -r srcfile -w dstfile
This command loads flows from **srcfile**, transforms it according to the
specified script, then writes it back to **dstfile**.
