It doesn't seem to do https right? I like fiddler a lot on windowns as well and fiddler is also free with a better ui and more feature than Charles or mitmproxy.

  From the portal: "mitmproxy is an interactive, SSL-capable man-in-the-middle proxy for HTTP with a console interface."

  Definitely does HTTPS just fine.

>marketing spam Why does team must-do-everything-in-the-terminal always come off as so religiously provocative and desperate? Not everyone is obsessed with their keyboard and feel like going through a huge learning curve to use basic tools, most of us prefer utilizing the mouse and GUIs.

  The op didn't even mention mitmproxy is a terminal tool. You're being a little too sensitive by automatically assuming this is a GUI vs terminal war. People would have less problem if the submitted was an open source tool, GUI or not. P.S. Terminal application does have tremendous advantage when you work on a headless server. I used mitmproxy and it's great. The ncurse'd interface isn't harder to use than that of a GUI.

    Thanxs. Exactly what I thought. Anyway I'm not against Charles but better use other channels to publitize a prized app.

  For what it's worth, we are currently working on an actual UI as an alternative to the console interface. :-)

Why do you think this is spam, vs all the other discussions of commercial products on HN?

This was not marketing spam from me. I have no connection to Charles and does not benefit from publishing to HN. I love MITMproxy and use it several times a day, but it is a bit to hard for newcomers go get their head around. I also post a lot of different things to HN as long as I love it myself ;)
