## Example: saving traffic
- mitmdump -w outfile

Start up mitmdump in proxy mode, and write all traffic to __outfile__.
## Example: client replay
- mitmdump -nc outfile

+mitmdump -nc outfile
+</pre>
Start mitmdump without binding to the proxy port (_-n_), then replay all
requests from outfile (_-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

+__mitmproxy__ has a powerful scripting API that allows you to modify flows
+on-the-fly or rewrite previously saved flows locally.
+
+The mitmproxy scripting API is event driven - a script is simply a Python
+module that exposes a set of event methods. Here's a complete mitmproxy script
+that adds a new header to every HTTP response before it is returned to the
+client:
+
+$!example("examples/add_header.py")!$
+
+The first argument to each event method is an instance of ScriptContext that
+lets the script interact with the global mitmproxy state. The __response__
+event also gets an instance of Flow, which we can use to manipulate the
+response itself.
## Events
-<table>
- <tr>
- <td>start(ctx)</td>
- <td>Called once on startup, before any other events.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>clientconnect(ctx, ClientConnect)</td>
- <td>Called when a client initiates a connection to the proxy. Note that
- a connection can correspond to multiple HTTP requests.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>request(ctx, Flow)</td>
- <td>Called when a client request has been received.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>response(ctx, Flow)</td>
- <td>Called when a server response has been received.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>error(ctx, Flow)</td>
- <td>Called when a flow error has occured, e.g. invalid server
- responses, or interrupted connections. This is distinct from a valid
- server HTTP error response, which is simply a response with an HTTP
- error code. </td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>clientdisconnect(ctx, ClientDisconnect)</td>
- <td>Called when a client disconnects from the proxy.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>done(ctx)</td>
- <td>Called once on script shutdown, after any other events.</td>

+### start(ScriptContext)
+
+Called once on startup, before any other events.
+
+
+###clientconnect(ScriptContext, ClientConnect)
+
+Called when a client initiates a connection to the proxy. Note that
+a connection can correspond to multiple HTTP requests.
+
+
+###request(ScriptContext, Flow)
+
+Called when a client request has been received. The __Flow__ object is
+guaranteed to have a non-None __request__ attribute.
+
+
+### response(ScriptContext, Flow)
+
+Called when a server response has been received. The __Flow__ object is
+guaranteed to have non-None __request__ and __response__ attributes.
+
+
+### error(ScriptContext, Flow)
+
+Called when a flow error has occured, e.g. invalid server responses, or
+interrupted connections. This is distinct from a valid server HTTP error
+response, which is simply a response with an HTTP error code. The __Flow__
+object is guaranteed to have non-None __request__ and __error__ attributes.
+
+
+### clientdisconnect(ScriptContext, ClientDisconnect)
+
+Called when a client disconnects from the proxy.
+### done(ScriptContext)
+Called once on script shutdown, after any other events.
+## Scripts on saved flows
+There are a few circumstances in which a script may run on Flows that are
+already complete. For example, you could start a script, and then load a saved
+set of flows from a file (see the scripted data transformation example on the
+[mitmdump](@!urlTo("mitmdump.html")!@) page). This also happens when you run a
+one-shot script on a single flow through the _|_ (pipe) shortcut in mitmproxy.
+In this case, there are no client connections, and the events are run in the
+following order: __start__, __request__, __response__, __error__, __done__. If
+the flow doesn't have a __response__ or __error__ associated with it, the
+matching event will be skipped.
