--anticache
Strip out request headers that might cause the server to return 304-not-modified.

--cadir CA_DIR
Location of the default mitmproxy CA files. (Default: ~/.mitmproxy)

--host Use the Host header to construct URLs for display.

-q, --quiet
Quiet.

-r RFILE, --read-flows RFILE
Read flows from file.

-s script.py --bar , --script script.py --bar
Run a script. Surround with quotes to pass script arguments. Can be passed multiple times.

-t FILTER, --stickycookie FILTER
Set sticky cookie filter. Matched against requests.

-u FILTER, --stickyauth FILTER
Set sticky auth filter. Matched against requests.

-v, --verbose
Increase log verbosity.

-w OUTFILE, --wfile OUTFILE
Write flows to file.

-a OUTFILE, --afile OUTFILE
Append flows to file.

-z, --anticomp
Try to convince servers to send us un-compressed data.

-Z SIZE, --body-size-limit SIZE
Byte size limit of HTTP request and response bodies. Understands k/m/g suffixes, e.g. 3m for 3
megabytes.

--stream SIZE
Stream data to the client if response body exceeds the given threshold. If streamed, the body
will not be stored in any way. Understands k/m/g suffixes, e.g. 3m for 3 megabytes.

--upstream-auth UPSTREAM_AUTH
Proxy Authentication: username:password

Mitmweb:
--wport PORT
Mitmweb port.

--wiface IFACE
Mitmweb interface.

--wdebug
Turn on mitmweb debugging.

--wsingleuser USER
Allows access to a single user, specified in the form username:password.

--whtpasswd PATH
Allow access to users specified in an Apache htpasswd file.

Proxy Modes:
-R REVERSE_PROXY, --reverse REVERSE_PROXY
Forward all requests to upstream HTTP server: http[s]://host[:port]. Clients can always connect
both via HTTPS and HTTP, the connection to the server is determined by the specified scheme.

--socks
Set SOCKS5 proxy mode.

-T, --transparent
Set transparent proxy mode.

-U UPSTREAM_PROXY, --upstream UPSTREAM_PROXY
Forward all requests to upstream proxy server: http://host[:port]

Proxy Options:
-b ADDR, --bind-address ADDR
Address to bind proxy to (defaults to all interfaces).

-I HOST, --ignore HOST
Ignore host and forward all traffic without processing it. In transparent mode, it is recommended
to use an IP address (range), not the hostname. In regular mode, only SSL traffic is ignored and
the hostname should be used. The supplied value is interpreted as a regular expression and
matched on the ip or the hostname. Can be passed multiple times.

--tcp HOST
Generic TCP SSL proxy mode for all hosts that match the pattern. Similar to --ignore, but SSL
connections are intercepted. The communication contents are printed to the log in verbose mode.

-n, --no-server
Don't start a proxy server.

-p PORT, --port PORT
Proxy service port.

--no-http2
Explicitly disable HTTP/2 support. If your OpenSSL version supports ALPN, HTTP/2 is enabled by
default.

--raw-tcp | --no-raw-tcp
Explicitly enable/disable experimental raw tcp support. Disabled by default. Default value will
change in a future version.

--websockets | --no-websockets
Explicitly enable/disable experimental WebSocket support. Disabled by default as messages are on‐
ly printed to the event log and not retained. Default value will change in a future version.

--spoof-source-address
Use the client's IP for server-side connections.

SSL:
--cert SPEC
Add an SSL certificate. SPEC is of the form "[domain=]path". The domain may include a wildcard,
and is equal to "*" if not specified. The file at path is a certificate in PEM format. If a pri‐
vate key is included in the PEM, it is used, otherwise the default key in the conf dir is used.
The PEM file should contain the full certificate chain, with the leaf certificate as the first en‐
try. Can be passed multiple times.

--ciphers-client CIPHERS_CLIENT
Set supported ciphers for client connections. (OpenSSL Syntax)

--ciphers-server CIPHERS_SERVER
Set supported ciphers for server connections. (OpenSSL Syntax)

--client-certs CLIENT_CERTS
Client certificate file or directory.

--no-upstream-cert
Don't connect to upstream server to look up certificate details.

--add-upstream-certs-to-client-chain
Add all certificates of the upstream server to the certificate chain that will be served to the
proxy client, as extras.

--insecure
Do not verify upstream server SSL/TLS certificates.

--upstream-trusted-cadir CA_DIR
Path to a directory of trusted CA certificates for upstream server verification prepared using the
c_rehash tool.

--upstream-trusted-ca CA_CERT
Path to a PEM formatted trusted CA certificate.

--ssl-version-client {all|TLSv1_2|secure|TLSv1_1|TLSv1|SSLv3|SSLv2}
Set supported SSL/TLS versions for client connections. SSLv2, SSLv3 and all are INSECURE. De‐
faults to secure, which is TLS1.0+.

--ssl-version-server {all|TLSv1_2|secure|TLSv1_1|TLSv1|SSLv3|SSLv2}
Set supported SSL/TLS versions for server connections. SSLv2, SSLv3 and all are INSECURE. De‐
faults to secure, which is TLS1.0+.

Onboarding App:
--noapp
Disable the mitmproxy onboarding app.

--app-host HOST
Domain to serve the onboarding app from. For transparent mode, use an IP when a DNS entry for the
app domain is not present. (Default: mitm.it)

--app-port PORT
Port to serve the onboarding app from. (Default: 80)

Client Replay:
-c PATH, --client-replay PATH
Replay client requests from a saved file.

Server Replay:
-S PATH, --server-replay PATH
Replay server responses from a saved file.

-k, --replay-kill-extra
Kill extra requests during replay.

--server-replay-use-header HEADER
Request header to be considered during replay. Can be passed multiple times.

--norefresh
Disable response refresh, which updates times in cookies and headers for replayed responses.

--no-pop
Disable response pop from response flow. This makes it possible to replay same response multiple
times.

--replay-ignore-content
Ignore request's content while searching for a saved flow to replay.

--replay-ignore-payload-param PARAM
Request's payload parameter (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data) to be ig‐

FILES

       ~/.mitmproxy/mitmweb.conf
              Settings for mitmweb.  This file can contain any options supported by mitmweb.

       ~/.mitmproxy/common.conf
              Settings  shared between all command-line tools.  Settings in this file are overridden by those in
              the tool-specific files.  Only options shared by mitmproxy and mitmdump should  be  used  in  this
              file.

       Options  that start with -- (e.g.  --wport) can also be set in a config file (~/.mitmproxy/common.conf or
       ~/.mitmproxy/mitmweb.conf or specified via --conf).  Config file syntax allows:

              key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c]

       (for details, see syntax at <https://goo.gl/R74nmi>).  If an option is specified in more than one  place,
       then command-line values override config file values which override defaults.
