I have been able to capture the HTTP(s) traffic from a smartphone and also stored this traffic using mitmdump using the command
mitmdump -w outfile
This seems to dump the HTTP body along with the headers as well. I am interested in capturing only the headers, prefarably as a single csv row (or json string). How can I do that?
Yet another derived snippet based on previous responses and updated to python3:
def response(flow):
print("")
print("="*50)
#print("FOR: " + flow.request.url)
print(flow.request.method + " " + flow.request.path + " " + flow.request.http_version)
print("-"*50 + "request headers:")
for k, v in flow.request.headers.items():
print("%-20s: %s" % (k.upper(), v))
print("-"*50 + "response headers:")
for k, v in flow.response.headers.items():
print("%-20s: %s" % (k.upper(), v))
print("-"*50 + "request headers:")
Command line:
mitmdump -q -v -s parse_headers.py -R http://localhost:9200 -p 30001
Output:
==================================================
GET / HTTP/1.1
--------------------------------------------------request headers:
CONTENT-TYPE : application/json
ACCEPT : application/json
USER-AGENT : Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
HOST : localhost
--------------------------------------------------response headers:
CONTENT-TYPE : application/json; charset=UTF-8
CONTENT-LENGTH : 327
You can extract any header fields you need, e.g., with mitmdump and the flow object (python inline scripts). Inline scripts are documented here: https://mitmproxy.org/doc/scripting/inlinescripts.html
To extract all headers, I used the following command:
$ mitmdump -n -q -s parse_headers.py -r <file>.mitm
The parse_headers.py inline script is as follows:
def response(context, flow):
request_headers = [{"name": k, "value": v} for k, v in flow.request.headers]
response_headers = [{"name": k, "value": v} for k, v in flow.response.headers]
print request_headers
print response_headers
U was using @rvaneijk, but I was getting the following error:
Script error: too many values to unpack
Script error: too many values to unpack
I found a solution at 'too many values to unpack', iterating over a dict. key=>string, value=>list and changed the code as follows:
[root@npmjs npmo-server]# cat parse_headers.py
def response(context, flow):
request_headers = [{"name": k, "value": v} for k, v in flow.request.headers.iteritems()]
response_headers = [{"name": k, "value": v} for k, v in flow.response.headers.iteritems()]
print "################################"
print "FOR: " + flow.request.url
print flow.request.method + " " + flow.request.path + " " + flow.request.http_version
print "HTTP REQUEST HEADERS"
print request_headers
print "HTTP RESPONSE HEADERS"
print response_headers
print ""
The output of this is as follows:

You can use Docker as follows:
Make sure you have read permission on the file.
docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/parse_headers.py:/tmp/parse_headers.py
mitmproxy/mitmproxy mitmdump -s /tmp/parse_headers.py
-R http://npmjs.corp.company.net:8081 8080
