Here's a concrete scenario for you: Say you are in a team of 10 developers with a huge codebase that has accumulated over 5+ years. If you're new in the team, and you need to understand when a specific HTTP header is sent, or just snoop the value in the payload you otherwise wouldn't be able to see.

Snooping traffic isn't new though, so what's specific about this tool and Python.

How would you snoop outgoing HTTPS traffic otherwise easily anyway? mitmproxy requires some work to set up
