3. In Python, create a client, start the mitmproxy service, stop the mitmproxy service

   import manageritm
   
   manageritm_addr = "localhost"
   manageritm_port = "8000"
   
   # create a manageritm client
   mc = manageritm.client.ManagerITMProxyClient(f'http://{manageritm_addr}:{manageritm_port}')
   proxy_details = mc.client()
   
   print(f"proxy port: {proxy_details['port']}")
   print(f"proxy webport: {proxy_details['webport']}")
   
   # start a proxy server
   mc.start()
   
   # set your application to use the proxy
   #  host: "localhost"
   #  port: f"{proxy_details['port']}"
   
   # do some work...
   
   # stop the proxy server
   mc.stop()
   

Or start a video client

1. Create a custom configuration file named flask_config_video.py

MANAGERITM_CLIENT_COMMAND = ['/opt/bin/video.sh']

2. Start manageritm server on port 8000.

   gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 --workers 1 --log-level debug "manageritm.app:main()"
   

3. In Python, create a client, start the ffmpeg service, stop the ffmpeg service

   import manageritm
   
   manageritm_addr = "localhost"
   manageritm_port = "8000"
   
   # create a manageritm client
   mc = manageritm.client.ManagerITMCommandClient(f'http://{manageritm_addr}:{manageritm_port}')
   client_details = mc.client(additional_env={
       'DISPLAY_CONTAINER_NAME': 'hanet_chrome_1',
       'DISPLAY_NUM': '99',
       'SE_VIDEO_FOLDER': '/videos',
       'FILE_NAME': 'blahh.mp4'
   })
   
   # start a proxy server

   # recording should happening
   # ...
   
   # stop the proxy server
   mc.stop()
   

Local Development

1. Check out this repository
2. Create a virtual environment

   make pyenv
   

3. Install Python dependencies

   make install
   

4. Start the server

   make server
   

5. Start a client, in a Python interpreter:

   import manageritm
   
   manageritm_addr = "localhost"
   manageritm_port = "8000"
   
   # create a manageritm client
   mc = manageritm.client.ManagerITMProxyClient(f'http://{manageritm_addr}:{manageritm_port}')
   proxy_details = mc.client()
   
   print(f"proxy port: {proxy_details['port']}")
   print(f"proxy webport: {proxy_details['webport']}")
   
   # start a proxy server
   mc.start()
   

6. Navigate a web browser to http://localhost:<proxy webport> to watch the traffic
7. Configure a web browser to use the proxy port.
8. Stop the client

   # stop the proxy server
   mc.stop()
