+mitmproxy-bin (free and open source interactive HTTPS proxy)
+
+mitmproxy-bin is your swiss-army knife for debugging, testing, privacy
+measurements, and penetration testing. It can be used to intercept,
+inspect, modify and replay web traffic such as HTTP/1, HTTP/2,
+WebSockets, or any other SSL/TLS-protected protocols. You can prettify
+and decode a variety of message types ranging from HTML to Protobuf,
+intercept specific messages on-the-fly, modify them before they reach
+their destination, and replay them to a client or server later on.
+
+This is just a repack of the prebuilt binaries from the mitmproxy
+site, with some documentation added. Since upstream only releases
+x86_64 binaries, this will *not* work on 32-bit x86 (or ARM, etc)
+Slackware... although you can build an x86_64 package on a 32-bit host
+and install it on a 64-bit one, if you like.
