warcprox 2.0b1

WARC writing MITM HTTP/S proxy

Based on the excellent and simple pymiproxy by Nadeem Douba. https://github.com/allfro/pymiproxy

Install

Warcprox runs on python 3.4.

To install latest release run:

# apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev python3-gdbm
pip install warcprox

You can also install the latest bleeding edge code:

pip install git+https://github.com/internetarchive/warcprox.git

Trusting the CA cert

For best results while browsing through warcprox, you need to add the CA cert as a trusted cert in your browser. If you don’t do that, you will get the warning when you visit each new site. But worse, any embedded https content on a different server will simply fail to load, because the browser will reject the certificate without telling you.
