I'm happy to announce the release of mitmproxy 0.6, featuring a redesigned scripting API, slew of major new features and a panoply of small bugfixes and improvements.

Changelog

• New scripting API that allows much more flexible and fine-grained rewriting of traffic. See the docs for more info.
• Support for gzip and deflate content encodings. A new "z" keybinding in mitmproxy to let us quickly encode and decode content, plus automatic decoding for the "pretty" view mode.
• An event log, viewable with the "v" shortcut in mitmproxy, and the "-e" commandline argument in both mitmproxy and mitmdump.
• Huge performance improvements both in the mitmproxy interface, and loading large numbers of flows from file.
• A new "replace" convenience method for all flow objects, that does a universal regex-based string replacement.
• Header management has been rewritten to maintain both case and order.
• Improved stability for SSL interception.
• Default expiry time on generated SSL certs has been dropped to avoid an OpenSSL overflow bug that caused certificates to expire in the distant past on some systems.
• A "pretty" view mode for JSON and form submission data.
• Expanded documentation and examples.
• Many other small improvements and bugfixes.
