In reverse proxy mode, mitmproxy accepts standard HTTP requests and forwards
them to the specified upstream server. This is in contrast to <a
href="@!urlTo("forwardproxy.html")!@">forward proxy mode</a>, in which
mitmproxy forwards HTTP proxy requests to an upstream server.

Note that the displayed URL for flows in this mode will use the value of the
__Host__ header field from the request, not the reverse proxy server.
