-Mitmproxy lets you specify an arbitrary number of patterns that define text
-replacements within flows. Each pattern has 3 components: a filter that defines
-which flows a replacement applies to, a regular expression that defines what
-gets replaced, and a target value that defines what is substituted in.
-
-Replace hooks fire when either a client request or a server response is
-received. Only the matching flow component is affected: so, for example, if a
-replace hook is triggered on server response, the replacement is only run on
-the Response object leaving the Request intact. You control whether the hook
-triggers on the request, response or both using the filter pattern. If you need
-finer-grained control than this, it's simple to create a script using the
-replacement API on Flow components.
-
-Replacement hooks are extremely handy in interactive testing of applications.
-For instance you can use a replace hook to replace the text "XSS" with a
-complicated XSS exploit, and then "inject" the exploit simply by interacting
-with the application through the browser. When used with tools like Firebug and
-mitmproxy's own interception abilities, replacement hooks can be an amazingly
-flexible and powerful feature.
-
-
-## On the command-line
-
-The replacement hook command-line options use a compact syntax to make it easy
-to specify all three components at once. The general form is as follows:
-
- /patt/regex/replacement
-
-Here, __patt__ is a mitmproxy filter expression, __regex__ is a valid Python
-regular expression, and __replacement__ is a string literal. The first
-character in the expression (__/__ in this case) defines what the separation
-character is. Here's an example of a valid expression that replaces "foo" with
-"bar" in all requests:
-
- :~q:foo:bar
-
-In practice, it's pretty common for the replacement literal to be long and
-complex. For instance, it might be an XSS exploit that weighs in at hundreds or
-thousands of characters. To cope with this, there's a variation of the
-replacement hook specifier that lets you load the replacement text from a file.
-So, you might start __mitmdump__ as follows:
-
-<pre class="terminal">
-mitmdump --replace-from-file :~q:foo:~/xss-exploit
-</pre>
-
-This will load the replacement text from the file __~/xss-exploit__.
-
-Both the _--replace_ and _--replace-from-file_ flags can be passed multiple
-times.
-
-
-## Interactively
-
-The _R_ shortcut key in mitmproxy lets you add and edit replacement hooks using
-a built-in editor. The context-sensitive help (_h_) has complete usage
-information.

-Server-side replay lets us replay server responses from a saved HTTP
-conversation.
-
-Matching requests with responses
---------------------------------
-
-By default, __mitmproxy__ excludes request headers when matching incoming
-requests with responses from the replay file. This works in most circumstances,
-and makes it possible to replay server responses in situations where request
-headers would naturally vary, e.g. using a different user agent. The _--rheader
-headername_ command-line option allows you to override this behaviour by
-specifying individual headers that should be included in matching.
-
-
-Response refreshing
--------------------
-
-Simply replaying server responses without modification will often result in
-unexpected behaviour. For example cookie timeouts that were in the future at
-the time a conversation was recorded might be in the past at the time it is
-replayed. By default, __mitmproxy__ refreshes server responses before sending
-them to the client. The __date__, __expires__ and __last-modified__ headers are
-all updated to have the same relative time offset as they had at the time of
-recording. So, if they were in the past at the time of recording, they will be
-in the past at the time of replay, and vice versa. Cookie expiry times are
-updated in a similar way.
-
-You can turn off response refreshing using the _--norefresh_ argument, or using
-the _o_ options shortcut within __mitmproxy__.

-## Sticky cookies
-
-When the sticky cookie option is set, __mitmproxy__ will add the cookie most
-recently set by the server to any cookie-less request. Consider a service that
-sets a cookie to track the session after authentication. Using sticky cookies,
-you can fire up mitmproxy, and authenticate to a service as you usually would
-using a browser. After authentication, you can request authenticated resources
-through mitmproxy as if they were unauthenticated, because mitmproxy will
-automatically add the session tracking cookie to requests. Among other things,
-this lets you script interactions with authenticated resources (using tools
-like wget or curl) without having to worry about authentication.
-
-Sticky cookies are especially powerful when used in conjunction with [client
-replay](@!urlTo("clientreplay.html")!@) - you can record the authentication
-process once, and simply replay it on startup every time you need to interact
-with the secured resources.

-## Sticky auth

-The sticky auth option is analogous to the sticky cookie option, in that HTTP

-authentication through the proxy. Note that __mitmproxy__ doesn't (yet) support
-replay of HTTP Digest authentication.
