cplayback stuck - no console rendering nor traffic generated

Hi,

There are my exact keystrokes:

mitmproxy --host
c
path_to_my_mitm_saved_flows

An nothing gets rendered, I just have a ‘[0/0] [cplayback:3 to go][showhost]’ message in the bottom status bar.

However, as soon as I press a key, the list of flows is diplayed, but they haven’t been properly processed : I had tcpdump running in other terminal to check for any traffic, and nothing is sent by mitmproxy:

sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 host $target_host -l 2>/dev/null

I previously used the version from Ubuntu repositories, and it worked fine. Any idea on what is going on ?

I’m using the latest repo version, installed without a virtualenv, on a Ubuntu “trusty” 14.04.1 LTS :

sudo pip install --src . -r requirements.txt

Here is the flows file I’m using, recorded with the same mitmproxy program version: https://chezsoi.org/lucas/covoiturage-libre_minimal-flows.mitm

Just as a follow-up to thank you for this fix and show you how useful was this feature to me, I wrote the following blog post on how I used mitmproxy : https://chezsoi.org/lucas/blog/2014/12/11/en-replicating-phpsessid-and-srctoken-session-authentication-with-mitmproxy/

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer ! And for opening issue #405. And simply for writing mitmproxy 😃 I’ll pull the latest fix and test it before the week-end, but it looks good to me. Keep up the good work 😉
