Hi mitmproxy community,

I just installed mitmproxy, seems like a great tool. However, something that is very useful to me when using Burp is being able to edit the entire raw request. Is there a way to do the same using mitmproxy?

Thanks.

In the proposed events you can easily access all the properties you can find [here](http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/scripting/api.html) where there are content, cookies, headers, …  
You can also reply to client with a response that are in a file.

Thanks for the reply.  
I was asking to do that without using the API, directly from the “flow view”.  
Anyway, it’s not totally necessary but sometimes has been useful.  
I will start using mitmproxy as it is and see if it works for me.

Thanks.
