-Sticky cookies and auth
-=======================
-
-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 :ref:`clientreplay` - 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
-**Authorization** headers are simply replayed to the server once they have been
-seen. This is enough to allow you to access a server resource using HTTP Basic
-authentication through the proxy. Note that :program:`mitmproxy` doesn't (yet) support
-replay of HTTP Digest authentication.
