It’s great to see that Mitmproxy is still being developed - it indirectly made my career.

Back in 2011, I was using it to learn API development by intercepting mobile app requests when I discovered that Airbnb’s API was susceptible to Rails mass assignment (https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5228). I then used it to modify some benign attributes, reached out to the company, and it landed me an interview. Rest is history.

It's absolutely insane how many core devs argued against change there

To this day it remains incredibly useful to me, and weirdly obscure to people who I would've thought should know better.

Sometimes it's easier to use mitmproxy with an existing implementation than to read the documentation!
