__mitmproxy__ is an interactive SSL-capable intercepting HTTP proxy. It lets
|
|
you to observe, modify and replay requests and responses on the fly. The
|
|
underlying library that mitmproxy is built on can also be used to do these
|
|
things programmatically.
|
|
|
|
By default, mitmproxy starts up with a mutt-like interactive curses interface -
|
|
the built-in help page (which you can view by pressing "?") will tell you
|
|
everything you need to know. Note that requests and responses are stored
|
|
in-memory until you delete them, so leaving mitmproxy running indefinitely or
|
|
requesting very large amounts of data through it is a bad idea.
|
|
|
|
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.

Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* A recent [Python](http://www.python.org) interpreter.
|
|
* SSL certificates are generated using [openssl](http://www.openssl.org/)
|
|
* The curses interface relies on version 0.9.8 or newer of the
|
|
[urwid](http://excess.org/urwid/) library.
|
|
* The test suite uses the [pry](http://github.com/cortesi/pry) unit testing
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
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.
