support for upstream proxies about mitmproxy

[tyll]

What about socks proxy support? Should I file a new issue? It is very useful, because OpenSSH can create a socks proxy.

This is one of the most frequently requested features for mitmproxy. It's on the cards, I just need to find time!

bump ;-)

This is still high up on the priority list, but will happen after the imminent 0.9 release.

Looking forward to add a custom upstream proxy like http://youtubeproxy.co/

It would be nice to have both HTTP and socks (with DNS tunneling) upstream proxy support.

agreed @tyll ;-) bump

Is this feature ready now? Can "mitmproxy -F " do this?

Hi all,

support for HTTP and HTTPS upstream proxies has just been added to the master branch.
If you like to live on the dangerous side, feel free to test it with the most obscure combination you can find:

Installation from master:
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/mitmproxy/netlib.git
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy.git
Run:
./mitmproxy -F http://127.0.0.1:8081 
(The http:// scheme is irrelevant here and will be removed before the next release. 
 It always works for both HTTP and HTTPS.)

Obvious disclaimer: The proxy code has been rewritten from the ground up and is probably not ready for production.

Cheers,
Max

Sure, feel free to create a new issue to track this. SOCKS proxy is definitely on my personal wishlist, for exactly the reason you give.

Here is the new issue: #211
