+=========
+
+.. note::
+
+    We strongly encourage you to use :ref:`inlinescripts` rather than mitmproxy.
+        - Inline Scripts are equally powerful and provide an easier syntax.
+        - Most examples are written as inline scripts.
+        - Multiple inline scripts can be used together.
+        - Inline Scripts can either be executed headless with mitmdump or within the mitmproxy UI.
+
+
+All of mitmproxy's basic functionality is exposed through the **mitmproxy**
+library. The example below shows a simple implementation of the "sticky cookie"
+functionality included in the interactive mitmproxy program. Traffic is
+monitored for ``Cookie`` and ``Set-Cookie`` headers, and requests are rewritten
+to include a previously seen cookie if they don't already have one. In effect,
+this lets you log in to a site using your browser, and then make subsequent
+requests using a tool like curl, which will then seem to be part of the
+authenticated session.
