Stephen Altamirano 78049abac1 Changes replace logic to function in both Python 2.6.x and 2.7.x
Tests now only assume Python 2.6.x rather than requiring 2.7.x. This does not preclude the use of flags as a kwarg in replace

mitmproxy is an SSL-capable, intercepting HTTP proxy. 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 frills. Think tcpdump for HTTP.

Both tools are fully documentented in the commandline --help flag, and, in the case of mitmproxy, a built-in help page accessible through the ? keyboard shortcut.

Capabilities

  • 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.
  • Make scripted changes to HTTP traffic using Python.
  • SSL certificates for interception are generated on the fly.

You should also make sure that your console environment is set up with the following:

  • EDITOR environment variable to determine the external editor.
  • PAGER environment variable to determine the external pager.
  • Appropriate entries in your mailcap files to determine external viewers for request and response contents.
