# This scripts demonstrates how mitmproxy can switch to a second/different upstream proxy
# in upstream proxy mode.
#
# Usage: mitmdump -U http://default-upstream-proxy.local:8080/ -s change_upstream_proxy.py
#
# If you want to change the target server, you should modify flow.request.host and flow.request.port
# flow.live.set_server should only be used by inline scripts to change the upstream proxy.

    # Poor man's loadbalancing: route every second domain through the alternative proxy.
    if hash(flow.request.host) % 2 == 1:
        return ("localhost", 8082)
    else:
        return ("localhost", 8081)

        # If the decision is done by domain, one could also modify the server address here.
        # We do it after CONNECT here to have the request data available as well.

        else:
            # If we have CONNECTed (and thereby established "destination state"), the story is
            # a bit more complex. Now we don't want to change the top level address (which is
            # the connect destination) but the address below that. (Notice the `.via` and depth=2).
