Aldo Cortesi f004326855 Try not to hang when user views large request & response bodies
Two different strategies here:

    - Use a simple heuristic to detect if we're looking at XML data when indent
    mode is used. On non-XML data we can hang even on small documents.

    - Only view partial data for large bodies. At the moment the cutoff is
    100k. I might finetune this later.

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.
