Hi.

I’m looking at an encrypted connection and want to save decrypted data in “time|request|response” format.  
Like going into each request and pressing P in mitmproxy. What is the easiest way to do this?

OK, this script seems to be working.  
The site has some outdated examples though o.O

`import random  
import sys

from mitmproxy.models import decoded  
import time

def start(context, argv):  
context.folder = argv[1]

def response(context, flow):  
t = time.time()\*1000  
f = open("%s/%d.request" % (context.folder,t), “wb”)  
with decoded(flow.request):  
f.write(flow.request.content)

```
f = open("%s/%d.response" % (context.folder,t), "wb")
with decoded(flow.response):
    f.write(flow.response.content)

```

Github. While I was browsing examples and reading docs I noticed that some of the examples seemed to be outdated comparing to docs. Don’t remember which ones already/.

Thanks. You most likely browsed the examples on the master branch, which work on master but not on 0.17.
