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, :program:`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 :kbd:`O` options shortcut within :program:`mitmproxy`. - - -Replaying a session recorded in Reverse-proxy Mode --------------------------------------------------- - -If you have captured the session in reverse proxy mode, in order to replay it you -still have to specify the server URL, otherwise you may get the error: -'HTTP protocol error in client request: Invalid HTTP request form (expected authority or absolute...)'. - -During replay, when the client's requests match previously recorded requests, then the -respective recorded responses are simply replayed by mitmproxy. -Otherwise, the unmatched requests is forwarded to the upstream server. -If forwarding is not desired, you can use the --kill (-k) switch to prevent that. - -================== =========== -command-line ``-S path`` -mitmproxy shortcut :kbd:`R` then :kbd:`s` -================== =========== |
