This is in contrast to :ref:`upstreamproxy`, in which -mitmproxy forwards HTTP(S) proxy requests to an upstream proxy server. - -================== ================================ -command-line ``-R http[s]://hostname[:port]`` -================== ================================ - -Here, **http[s]** signifies if the proxy should use TLS to connect to the server. -mitmproxy always accepts both encrypted and unencrypted requests and transforms -them to what the server expects. - -.. code-block:: none - - >>> mitmdump -R https://httpbin.org -p 80 - >>> curl http://localhost/ - # requests will be transparently upgraded to TLS by mitmproxy - - >>> mitmdump -R https://httpbin.org -p 443 - >>> curl https://localhost/ - # mitmproxy will use TLS on both ends. - - -Host Header ------------ - -In reverse proxy mode, mitmproxy automatically rewrites the Host header to match the -upstream server. 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. |
