How to access proxy user from inline script

1

Hi,
I’m running mitmdump with the nonanonymous flag enabled. I’m trying to get the value of the proxy username which is stored in the self.username variable that’s defined in the BasicProxyAuth class: https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/1dd078beb23aa0b483f945eed39c0136984f81a6/netlib/http/authentication.py#L76

I’ve tried tracing the code, and looking at the events available to inline scripts: http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/v0.17/scripting/inlinescripts.html#events

I’ve tried looking at the clientconnect and request events, and I just haven’t been able to find the data I need.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @AnalogJ,

looks like there is indeed no good way to do this at the moment - we clean the headers here before passing the request to the inline script. I’d be happy to accept a PR that keeps the authentication at this place but moves the cleaning part below the process_request_hook call! :slight_smile:
