mitmproxy script for creating request templates from functional test execution (ABANDONED)

Syntribos Template Collector

Description

This is an mitmproxy in-line script to capture proxied requests and generate a set of Syntribos request templates. It attempts to de-duplicate requests intelligently (i.e. comparing HTTP method, set of URL query parameter names, etc.)

Dependencies

• mitmproxy / mitmdump

Configuration

• header_transforms is a dictionary of header names and replacement values; this can be used, for example, to remove actual X-Auth-Token headers and replace them with CALL_EXTERNAL syntax
• hosts is a list of host:port strings (port not needed on 80/443) to collect requests to

Usage

First, set up mitmproxy to listen and run the collector script

mitmproxy -p [port] -s "collector.py [output directory]"
OR
mitmdump -p [port] -s "collector.py [output directory]"

Next, set environment variables in your terminal to set your proxy:

export https_proxy="https://127.0.0.1:[port]"
export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:[port]"

Now run your functional tests from that terminal session, piping the requests through mitmproxy.

Finally, when you're done running your test, kill mitmproxy/mitmdump, and your de-duped templates will be written out to the output directory you specified when calling the collector script.
