Nice idea but terrible implementation. Mitmproxy solves a lot of annoying problems, but, Python holds it back to such an extent that it's hard to make the case for deploying it in production due to massive inefficiencies.

Can't wait for someone to do it in Go.

This is cool. I’m learning a lot reading through the docs. Why is subversion so instructive? I’ve read about SSL certificates a gazillion times and it’s simple enough in theory but for some reason this is making everything click.

What’s the use most common use case for something like this, by the way?

I thought mitmproxy was designed to make it easier to debug stuff in a local environment. Why would you want to deploy it to production? How would you use it?

Maybe they write malware?

I’m also curious about the use case. For debugging things locally, it is ideal for my needs.

Not sure I understand "MITM" and "in production".

Many different applications: Red/blue teaming, metric collection, policy-based decision making.

Every single major corporation does "MITM in production".
