This allows mitmproxy to easily connect to existing endpoints on the -open web (e.g. ``mitmproxy -R https://example.com``). You can disable this behaviour -by passing ``--keep-host-header`` on the console. - -However, keep in mind that absolute URLs within the returned document or HTTP redirects will -NOT be rewritten by mitmproxy. This means that if you click on a link for "http://example.com" -in the returned web page, you will be taken directly to that URL, bypassing mitmproxy. - -One possible way to address this is to modify the hosts file of your OS so that "example.com" -resolves to your proxy's IP, and then access the proxy by going directly to example.com. -Make sure that your proxy can still resolve the original IP, or specify an IP in mitmproxy. |
