Aldo Cortesi 1de5209340 Add an "SSL exception" to the license.
This is to clarify that mitmproxy can be distributed with OpenSSL. It's unclear
whether this is really needed, but I've had at least one request for this, and
there's a precendent in other Open Source projects.

README.mkd

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.

Download

Releases and rendered documentation can be found on the mitmproxy website:

mitmproxy.org

Source is hosted on github:

Requirements

  • Python 2.6.x or 2.7.x.
  • openssl. Installed by default on most systems.
  • urwid version 0.9.8 or newer.
  • The test suite uses the pry unit testing library.
  • Rendering the documentation requires countershape.

mitmproxy is tested and developed on OSX, Linux and OpenBSD.

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.
