SSL
---
The first time mitmproxy is started, it will generate a bogus SSL certificate
(the default location is ~/.mitmproxy/cert.pem). This certificate will be used
for the browser-side of intercepted traffic. Because it won't match any domain
you visit, and won't verify against any certificate authority, you will have to
add an exception for each site you visit. SSL requests are intercepted by
simply assuming that all CONNECT requests are https. The connection from the
browser is wrapped in SSL, and we read the request by pretending to be the
connecting server. We then open an SSL request to the destination server, and
replay the request.
authority (the default location is ~/.mitmproxy/ca.pem). This CA is used to
generate certificates for SSL requests on-the-fly. To avoid the hassle of
having to accept these certificates individually, you can add the certificate
authority to your browser or globally to your system.
