A man-in-the-middle proxy
mitmproxy [options]
mitmproxy is a console tool that allows interactive examination and modification of HTTP traffic. It differs from mitmdump in that all flows are kept in memory, which means that it\'s intended for taking and manipulating small-ish samples. Use the ? shortcut key to view, context-sensitive documentation from any mitmproxy screen.
