I've been using mitmproxy pretty much non-stop for the past several months. My current daily workflow consists of a proxy and two reverse proxies.

From anywhere within mitmproxy, entering ? will display context-sensitive help. For the most part, the documentation is great. The one thing I was not able to find was how to export a request as a curl request, which are useful when trying to share requests with team mates.

After Googling it for a bit, I finally came across how to do it:

• enter w to enter export mode
• enter export.clip curl @focus to copy curl request to clipboard

It works, but I'm still going to reference my notes I need to remember the exact syntax. Luckily, mitmproxy has key binding support. So, by adding the following to ~/.mitmproxy/keys.yaml I now have a shortcut to copy a curl request from mitmproxy.

  key: c
  cmd: export.clip curl @focus
