Task #6870

**Ticket moved to GitHub**: "pulp/pulpcore/1900":https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/issues/1900 ---- ## Background The [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/) are extremely useful for debugging how services work which normally talk using TLS. Say you want to debug a CLI talking to it's server so that you can reverse engineer how Pulp needs to behave as either the client or server. For example debugging between the ansible-galaxy CLI and galaxy.ansible.com (the server side). You could use mitmproxy in the middle like: ansible-galaxy CLI <--> mitmproxy <--> ansible.galaxy.com. You can enable this easily if the CLI has any sort of "proxy config". ## Example ### Setup mitmproxy and run it ``` pip install mitmproxy mitmweb -v -v -v --listen-port 8088 --web-port 8089 -k ``` ### Configure the CLI to talk "through" mitmproxy and to ignore that it doesn't have a trusted cert export ANSIBLE_GALAXY_IGNORE=true export ANSIBLE_CONFIG=/home/vagrant/devel/automation_hub.cfg export HTTPS_PROXY=localhost:8088 ### Usage Make CLI requests and read all requests and responses from the mitmproxy UI.
