Hi,
I have been using mitmproxy to test our iOS app and till now it was working really well. But with the latest build of our app the developers have made some changes to the way device talks to the API end points and now mitmproxy is blocking the traffic to new endpoints.
Here is the change which our devs have made. As an example, till now iOS device used to talk to our endpoints with urls which looked like this - 'https://api.myservice.com/cpp/link/RegisterClient’
But now with the latest changes, the endpoint has been pre-fixed at runtime with deviceID, arch and OS info. So the new url looks like this - 'https://a3jt99zj340-52f8b8d-os9-3-x86_64-ver3_9X.api.myservice.com/cpp/link/RegisterClient’
and a call to this endpoint with mitmproxy enabled fails. I did a bit of experiment and noticed that if I replace the underscores in the above endpoint with hyphens then it works - ‘https://a3jt99zj340-52f8b8d-os9-3-x86-64-ver3-9X.api.myservice.com/cpp/link/RegisterClient’
Would someone help me in understanding why mitmproxy is not working with endpoints which have underscores ?
Here is the error message which it throws. The error is in requests library but then why does it work fine with mitmproxy disabled ?
