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. |

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.
