\ No newline at end of file +======== + + +**mitmdump** is the command-line companion to mitmproxy. It provides +tcpdump-like functionality to let you view, record, and programmatically +transform HTTP traffic. See the :option:`--help` flag output for complete +documentation. + + + +Examples +-------- + +Saving traffic +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +>>> mitmdump -w outfile + +Start up mitmdump in proxy mode, and write all traffic to **outfile**. + + +Filtering saved traffic +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +>>> mitmdump -nr infile -w outfile "~m post" + +Start mitmdump without binding to the proxy port (:option:`-n`), read all flows from +infile, apply the specified filter expression (only match POSTs), and write to +outfile. + + +Client replay +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +>>> mitmdump -nc outfile + +Start mitmdump without binding to the proxy port (:option:`-n`), then replay all +requests from outfile (:option:`-c filename`). Flags combine in the obvious way, so +you can replay requests from one file, and write the resulting flows to +another: + +>>> mitmdump -nc srcfile -w dstfile + +See the :ref:`clientreplay` section for more information. + + +Running a script +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +>>> mitmdump -s examples/add_header.py + +This runs the **add_header.py** example script, which simply adds a new header +to all responses. + +Scripted data transformation +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +>>> mitmdump -ns examples/add_header.py -r srcfile -w dstfile + +This command loads flows from **srcfile**, transforms it according to the +specified script, then writes it back to **dstfile**. + |
