Server disconnected on redirect

Gigiarum · February 23, 2018, 12:38pm

I’m using redirect_requests example in mitmproxy 3.0.1 but I have a problem: not all client requests end fine because mitmproxy returns 502 Bad Gateway error with detail HttpReadDisconnect('Server disconnected',).
I am try to redirect “site-to-redirect” to “localhost:8000”. Here mitmproxy log:

In my opinion it works only when I see the log Set new server address: localhost:8000 after the incoming request.

You will see timestamps because I edited addons/termlog.py file with this

import sys
import click

from mitmproxy import log
from mitmproxy import ctx

from datetime import datetime

These get over-ridden by the save execution context. Keep them around so we

can log directly.

realstdout = sys.stdout
realstderr = sys.stderr

class TermLog:
def init(self, outfile=None):
self.outfile = outfile

def log(self, e):
    if log.log_tier(e.level) == log.log_tier("error"):
        outfile = self.outfile or realstderr
    else:
        outfile = self.outfile or realstdout

    if log.log_tier(ctx.options.verbosity) >= log.log_tier(e.level):
        #aggiunge un prefisso al messaggio
        ts = datetime.utcnow().isoformat("T", "seconds")
        level = "{:5s}".format(e.level.upper())
        e.msg = ts + " " + level + " " + e.msg
        #quello che c'era prima
        click.secho(
            e.msg,
            file=outfile,
            fg=dict(error="red", warn="yellow",
                    alert="magenta").get(e.level),
            dim=(e.level == "debug"),
            err=(e.level == "error")
        )

What kind of application do you have running at localhost:8000? With which requests does that happen? Every second one? It could be a keepalive issue.

Besides that, do you have steps to reproduce the UnicodeEncodeError present in your logs?

Gigiarum · February 26, 2018, 11:18am

This is my situation:
immagine

Usually client requests go to host requested but for a special domain I added a script to redirect to a own site hsoted on a Django in the same mitmproxy server. The site is very simple and loads first html page then standard resources as bootstrap, jquery, images, … When I try to load the main page I see many errors in browsers console with various resources (css, favicon, …). If I try to refresh the main page sometimes also the html returns with 502 error. I focused also on bootstrap css (direct single resource from the browser) and I get response sometimes good and sometimes mitmproxy errore above reported. Now I don’t have a link to the system but I remember the behaviour was like one time yes and one time no.

I try also to disable Django CSRF, remove Referer header in mitmproxy redirected request but same error was present.

With another client I access normally to the same Django hosted site.

I am using mitmproxy v3.0.1. Can I give you other informations?

Gigiarum · February 28, 2018, 2:03pm

I tried another way to serve the redirect site: I moved Django on another pc but the problem still persist.

I can also confirm that if I point a single resource by the browser one call goes ok and one call ko.

I put here another log of the two calls: I find UnicodeEncodeError in both case so I focus on connection log.
In the OK case I find “clientconnect”, “Set new server address” and “serverconnect” that in KO case there are not. I searched 60315 in previous log and it is present in a 2 minute before call well ended.

KO case

I did other tests and the exception is a different problem (issue).

Server disconnection is not present if I use a simple http server instead of Django.
Further news in next days.

Gigiarum · April 5, 2018, 12:34pm

Same problem here.

mhils · April 5, 2018, 4:03pm

Hi, we just released mitmproxy 3.0.4 - I believe this should fix this issue!

Gigiarum · April 6, 2018, 12:44pm

It fixes, thank you!
