DESCRIPTION

       pathod  is a pathological HTTP daemon designed to let you craft almost any conceivable HTTP response, in‐
       cluding ones that creatively violate the standards.  HTTP responses are specified using  a  small,  terse
       language  which pathod shares with its evil twin, pathoc.  To start playing with pathod, fire up the dae‐
       mon:

              $ pathod

       By default, the service listens on port 9999 of localhost, and the default crafting anchor point  is  the
       path  /p/.  Anything after this URL prefix is treated as a response specifier.  So, hitting the following
       URL will generate an HTTP 200 response with 100 bytes of random data:

              http://localhost:9999/p/200:b@100

       See the language documentation (http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/latest/pathod/language.html#language) to get
       (much) fancier.

OPTIONS

   Optional Arguments:
       -h, --help
              Show this help message and exit.

       --version
              Show program's version number and exit.

       -p PORT
              Port.  Specify 0 to pick an arbitrary empty port.  (Default: 9999)

       -l ADDRESS
              Listening address.  (Default: 127.0.0.1)

       -a ANCHOR
              Add an anchor.  Specified as a string with the form pattern=spec or pattern=filepath,  where  pat‐
              tern is a regular expression.

       -c CRAFTANCHOR
              URL path specifying prefix for URL crafting commands.  (Default: /p/)

       --confdir CONFDIR
              Configuration directory.  (Default: ~/.mitmproxy)

       -d STATICDIR
              Directory for static files.

       -D     Daemonize.

       -t TIMEOUT
              Connection timeout.

       --limit-size SIZELIMIT
              Size limit of served responses.  Understands size suffixes, e.g.  100k.

       --nohang
              Disable pauses during crafted response generation.

       --nocraft
              Disable response crafting.  If anchors are specified, they still work.

       --webdebug
              Debugging mode for the web app (dev only).

   SSL:
       -s     Run in HTTPS mode.

       --cn CN
              CN for generated SSL certs.  (Default: pathod.net)

       -C     Don't expect SSL after a CONNECT request.

       --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.
              Can be passed multiple times.

       --ciphers CIPHERS
              SSL cipher specification.

       --san SAN
              Subject Altnernate Name to add to the server certificate.  May be passed multiple times.

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

   Controlling Logging:
       Some of these options expand generated values for logging.  If you're generating  large  data,  use  them
       with caution.

       -e     Explain responses.

       -f LOGFILE
              Log to file.

       -q     Log full request.

       -r     Log full response.

       -x     Log request/response in hexdump format.

       --http2-framedump
              Output all received & sent HTTP/2 frames.
