Simple Get Started Instructions

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce the problem:

brew install mitmproxy
mitmproxy or mitmweb
Now what?

Any other comments? What have you tried so far?

The documentation doesn’t really provide any insight into using this tool. Is there a simple way to maybe demonstrate how to intercept and modify a payload to something like https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com or maybe some localhost setup?

I’m confused as I have ran mitmweb and expected to see something but it doesn’t do anything. I have tried configuring a listening-host and port but still nothing. How do you actually use this tool?

I’ve got high hopes for this. Mac user that’s looking for a fiddler replacement as mono sucks at running fiddler (IMO)

[N.B. Opinion rather than facts, (maybe I’m used to more hand holding?)] The mitmproxy v5.1 documentation reminds me of a CVE proof of concept where it feels like some genius either presumes or is deliberately obfuscating how to actually use it. For example, I would have a cut-n-paste line by line explanation at the top of each example showing how to start # mitmproxy -s script_name.py [/gripe]
