I’m using mitmproxy0.18.2 w/Python3.5.2, with a pretty complex input script. Everything works great, except for an issue generating responses to particular requests. I tore it down to the basic example ([https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/0.18.x/examples/redirect\_requests.py](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/0.18.x/examples/redirect_requests.py)).

Run curl:  
curl -x 127.0.0.1:8080 [example.com](http://example.com)

Run mitmdump:  
/opt/my0.18# mitmdump -s redirect\_requests.py  
127.0.0.1:42475: GET [http://example.com/](http://example.com/)  
\<\< 200 OK 1.24k  
127.0.0.1:42475: clientdisconnect

You can see that I get the full 1.24kb of content from [example.com](http://example.com), when I expect to get “Hello world.” Am I misunderstanding what’s supposed to happen here?

No - this looks like wrong behaviour. `examples/simple/send_reply_from_proxy.py` works fine for me with 1.0.2. Can you upgrade to 1.0 and try again?
