The use case is:

I want to do some android app performance tests and I want to fix the data when app got from web.

The solution I come up with is to setup a local http proxy, which can first record all http traffic, and later replay then app is running perf tests.

I found http://mitmproxy.org/, which has exactly the features I want. but seems with the default settings it cannot be used as a https proxy. I tried using it as proxy and login to facebook but doesn't work.

I am not familiar with the https protocol and how cert things work. Any one can provide some help? Thanks a lot.
