Aldo Cortesi 760d303dfa Add README.txt for PyPi.
Yes, this means we now maintain two complete README files that are identical
except for markup. We distribute with only README.txt, so README.mkd can
actually move in to the documentation tree at some point.

**mitmproxy** is an SSL-capable man-in-the-middle proxy for HTTP. It provides a
console interface that allows traffic flows to be inspected and edited on the
fly.

**mitmdump** is the command-line version of mitmproxy, with the same
functionality but without the user interface. Think tcpdump for HTTP.

Complete documentation and a set of practical tutorials is included in the
distribution package, and is also available at `mitmproxy.org
<http://mitmproxy.org>`_.


Features
--------

- Intercept HTTP requests and responses and modify them on the fly.
- Save complete HTTP conversations for later replay and analysis.
- Replay the client-side of an HTTP conversations.
- Replay HTTP responses of a previously recorded server.
- Reverse proxy mode to forward traffic to a specified server.
- Make scripted changes to HTTP traffic using Python. 
- SSL certificates for interception are generated on the fly.
