@wmrowan You got this working? I am using the latest version but it seems HTTPS still uses the default proxy. As described here:

> [@Upstream Proxy HTTPS](https://discourse.mitmproxy.org/t/upstream-proxy-https/452):
>
> I have my script changing the upstream proxy for HTTP connections, but it seems to fail for HTTPS connections. Here’s a basic stripped down example. The script works fine for [http://api.ipify.org/](http://api.ipify.org/), but fails for [https://api.ipify.org/](https://api.ipify.org/). With HTTPS I see the following, which shows the upstream proxy wasn’t changed. Server connection to default\_proxy:8888 failed: Error connecting to "default\_proxy": [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known Running Command: mitmdump -s utilities/…

Got any insight?
