HTTP Man In The Middle (MITM) Proxy written in node.js. Supports capturing and modifying the request and response data.
npm install --save http-mitm-proxy
The library should work starting Node.js 8.x, but testing is only expected for currently supported LTS versions of Node.js starting Node.js 12.x . use on your own risk with non LTS Node.js versions.
type definitions are now included in this project, no extra steps required.
This example will modify any search results coming from google and replace all the result titles with "Pwned!".
const Proxy = require('http-mitm-proxy').Proxy;
// or using import/module (package.json -> "type": "module")
// import { Proxy } from "http-mitm-proxy";
const proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.onError(function(ctx, err) {
console.error('proxy error:', err);
});
proxy.onRequest(function(ctx, callback) {
if (ctx.clientToProxyRequest.headers.host == 'www.google.com'
&& ctx.clientToProxyRequest.url.indexOf('/search') == 0) {
ctx.use(Proxy.gunzip);
ctx.onResponseData(function(ctx, chunk, callback) {
chunk = Buffer.from(chunk.toString().replace(/<h3.*?<\/h3>/g, '<h3>Pwned!</h3>'));
return callback(null, chunk);
});
}
return callback();
});
console.log('begin listening on 8081')
proxy.listen({port: 8081});You can find more examples in the examples directory
Using node-forge allows the automatic generation of SSL certificates within the proxy. After running your app you will find options.sslCaDir + '/certs/ca.pem' which can be imported to your browser, phone, etc.

Starts the proxy listening on the given port.
Arguments
- options - An object with the following options:
- port - The port or named socket to listen on (default: 8080).
- host - The hostname or local address to listen on (default: 'localhost'). Pass '::' to listen on all IPv4/IPv6 interfaces.
- sslCaDir - Path to the certificates cache directory (default: process.cwd() + '/.http-mitm-proxy')
- keepAlive - enable HTTP persistent connection
- timeout - The number of milliseconds of inactivity before a socket is presumed to have timed out. Defaults to no timeout.
- httpAgent - The http.Agent to use when making http requests. Useful for chaining proxys. (default: internal Agent)
- httpsAgent - The https.Agent to use when making https requests. Useful for chaining proxys. (default: internal Agent)
- forceSNI - force use of SNI by the client. Allow node-http-mitm-proxy to handle all HTTPS requests with a single internal server.
- httpsPort - The port or named socket for https server to listen on. (forceSNI must be enabled)
- forceChunkedRequest - Setting this option will remove the content-length from the proxy to server request, forcing chunked encoding.
Example
proxy.listen({ port: 80 });
Stops the proxy listening.
Example
proxy.close();
Adds a function to the list of functions to get called if an error occures.
Arguments
- fn(ctx, err, errorKind) - The function to be called on an error.
Example
proxy.onError(function(ctx, err, errorKind) {
// ctx may be null
var url = (ctx && ctx.clientToProxyRequest) ? ctx.clientToProxyRequest.url : "";
console.error(errorKind + ' on ' + url + ':', err);
});
Allows the default certificate name/path computation to be overwritten.
The default behavior expects keys/{hostname}.pem and certs/{hostname}.pem files to be at self.sslCaDir.
Arguments
- hostname - Requested hostname.
- callback - The function to be called when certificate files' path were already computed.
Example 1
proxy.onCertificateRequired = function(hostname, callback) {
return callback(null, {
keyFile: path.resolve('/ca/certs/', hostname + '.key'),
certFile: path.resolve('/ca/certs/', hostname + '.crt')
});
};
Example 2: Wilcard certificates
proxy.onCertificateRequired = function(hostname, callback) {
return callback(null, {
keyFile: path.resolve('/ca/certs/', hostname + '.key'),
certFile: path.resolve('/ca/certs/', hostname + '.crt'),
hosts: ["*.mydomain.com"]
});
};
Allows you to handle missing certificate files for current request, for example, creating them on the fly.
Arguments
- ctx - Context with the following properties
- hostname - The hostname which requires certificates
- data.keyFileExists - Whether key file exists or not
- data.certFileExists - Whether certificate file exists or not
- files - missing files names (
files.keyFile,files.certFileand optionalfiles.hosts) - callback - The function to be called to pass certificate data back (
keyFileDataandcertFileData)
Example 1
proxy.onCertificateMissing = function(ctx, files, callback) {
console.log('Looking for "%s" certificates', ctx.hostname);
console.log('"%s" missing', ctx.files.keyFile);
console.log('"%s" missing', ctx.files.certFile);
// Here you have the last chance to provide certificate files data
// A tipical use case would be creating them on the fly
//
// return callback(null, {
// keyFileData: keyFileData,
// certFileData: certFileData
// });
};
Example 2: Wilcard certificates
proxy.onCertificateMissing = function(ctx, files, callback) {
return callback(null, {
keyFileData: keyFileData,
certFileData: certFileData,
hosts: ["*.mydomain.com"]
});
};
