DESCRIPTIONpathod is a pathological HTTP daemon designed to let you craft almost
any conceivable HTTP response, including ones that creatively violate
the standards. HTTP responses are specified using a small, terse lan‐
guage which pathod shares with its evil twin, pathoc. To start playing
with pathod, fire up the daemon:
$ pathod
By default, the service listens on port 9999 of localhost, and the de‐
fault crafting anchor point is the path /p/. Anything after this URL
prefix is treated as a response specifier. So, hitting the following
URL will generate an HTTP 200 response with 100 bytes of random data:
http://localhost:9999/p/200:b@100
See the language documentation (http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/lat‐
est/pathod/language.html#language) to get (much) fancier.
OPTIONS
Optional Arguments:
-h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
--version
Show program's version number and exit.
-p PORT
Port. Specify 0 to pick an arbitrary empty port. (Default:
9999)
-l ADDRESS
Listening address. (Default: 127.0.0.1)
-a ANCHOR
Add an anchor. Specified as a string with the form pattern=spec
or pattern=filepath, where pattern is a regular expression.
-c CRAFTANCHOR
URL path specifying prefix for URL crafting commands. (Default:
/p/)
--confdir CONFDIR
Configuration directory. (Default: ~/.mitmproxy)
-d STATICDIR
Directory for static files.
-D Daemonize.
-t TIMEOUT
Connection timeout.
--limit-size SIZELIMIT
Size limit of served responses. Understands size suffixes, e.g.
100k.
--nohang
Disable pauses during crafted response generation.
--nocraft
Disable response crafting. If anchors are specified, they still
work.
--webdebug
Debugging mode for the web app (dev only).
SSL:
-s Run in HTTPS mode.
--cn CN
CN for generated SSL certs. (Default: pathod.net)
-C Don't expect SSL after a CONNECT request.
--cert SPEC
Add an SSL certificate. SPEC is of the form "[domain=]path".
The domain may include a wildcard, and is equal to "*" if not
specified. The file at path is a certificate in PEM format. If
a private key is included in the PEM, it is used, otherwise the
default key in the conf dir is used. Can be passed multiple
times.
--ciphers CIPHERS
SSL cipher specification.
--san SAN
Subject Altnernate Name to add to the server certificate. May
be passed multiple times.
--ssl-version {all|TLSv1_2|secure|TLSv1_1|TLSv1|SSLv3|SSLv2}
Set supported SSL/TLS versions. SSLv2, SSLv3 and all are INSE‐
CURE. Defaults to secure, which is TLS1.0+.
Controlling Logging:
Some of these options expand generated values for logging. If you're
generating large data, use them with caution.
-e Explain responses.
-f LOGFILE
Log to file.
-q Log full request.
-r Log full response.
-x Log request/response in hexdump format.
--http2-framedump
Output all received & sent HTTP/2 frames.
