Hi @sanjeev45, can you share more info about your use case, and exactly what kind of automation you're looking for? It would be helpful if you can share as much detail as possible, and examples of specific automations you'd like to create.

There are other existing proposals for scripting use cases (such as #37) but from this issue alone I'm not sure if that would provide what you're looking for.

Hi @pimterry I’ve been using HTTP Toolkit and it’s been incredibly useful. However, I find myself often needing to intercept and modify traffic in a way similar to how mitmproxy allows with its Python scripting capabilities. This would save me from having to manually copy and paste each time. Would it be possible to consider adding such a feature to HTTP Toolkit? I believe it would greatly enhance the tool’s functionality and be beneficial to many users. Thank you for considering my request.

Hi @sanjeev45, please share specific information about your use case - there are a million different things that could be scriptable, so it's not clear what you're looking for. It sounds like you want to copy & paste something?

Please describe exactly what you want the script to do and why:

I would like to [x], which is useful to me because of [y].
To do that, I want to create a script so that when [a] happens, HTTP Toolkit does [b], [c], [d]...

Does that make sense? It's not really possible to design or build this feature without more information about what you're looking for.

HI @pimterry
The specific features I'm referring to are:

1. Scripting and Automation: A Python API or similar to automate the interception and manipulation of HTTP(S) traffic.

2. URL Filtering and Interaction with Python Scripts: The ability to filter requests based on the URL, print the URL directly, and interact with other Python scripts.

[pimterry]

"automate the interception and manipulation" means 100,000 different things. This is a generic description that is not useful.

Please provide an example of a specific script you want to write and explain why. I have given a clear example of the information required above.

I would like to [x], which is useful to me because of [y].
To do that, I want to create a script so that when [a] happens, HTTP Toolkit does [b], [c], [d]...

Like "I'm trying to test how a server handles different request headers, so I want to write a script that where every time a request is sent to example.com, it adds a header HELLO: VALUE to the request". Please be as specific and detailed as possible.

It's not possible to build features without explaining exactly what you want it to do. If you can't share that info I'm afraid I'll have to close this issue.

`from mitmproxy import http

def request(flow: http.HTTPFlow) -> None:
# If the request URL contains "pdf"
if "pdf" in flow.request.pretty_url:
# Print the URL
print(flow.request.pretty_url)` here's an example about what iam talking about

[pimterry]

Thanks, that's a bit clearer.

Presumably you would want the print command here to write to a file somewhere? Unlike CLI tools HTTP Toolkit it doesn't make much sense for HTTP Toolkit to log directly to the console.

Would you want a single file, or to be able to configure an output file per rule/script?
