Hi all,
We know that mitmproxy have ability to decode gzip content in `mitmproxy/netlib/encoding.py`, the decode is using zlib.
When I try to export the flows to file with`mitmdump -w filename`, the file content is compressed and not readable. Is there a built-in way to get the unzipped content in exported file? Or is there a way to make zlib work on the file exporting process?

I am trying to figure out the same thing. Has this been resolved?

I would recommend using [https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/examples/simple/io\_read\_dumpfile.py](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/examples/simple/io_read_dumpfile.py) to read mitmproxy dumpfiles. mitmproxy’s `flow.response.content` is automatically gzip-decoded (see [http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/scripting/api.html](http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/scripting/api.html)). If you want to avoid encodings at all, you could also pass `--anticomp` when recording. Does that help? 🙂
