Is there any decent way to obtain complete byte request and response packets?

[AugustineFulgur]

I'm writing a security tool based on mitmproxy. But somehow I found it is so hard to get a hole request or response package which I would like to show in my tool's panel or use to search regex expressions.

When I read original codes I found that we can just add an property such as "raw_package" like :
@property def raw_package(self) -> bytes: return f"{self.method} {self.path} {self.http_version or 'HTTP/1.1'}\r\n".encode("utf-8") \ + self.headers.__bytes__() \ + b"\r\n" \ + self.raw_content
In mitmproxy.http.Request.

I think may many people who use mitmproxy to make themselves tool's would like to get an property like this.
Wish I wont bother you.Hope your answer soon thx.

If it is possible I will add the code of Response

The export addon has relevant functionality:

mitmproxy/mitmproxy/addons/export.py

Line 218 in 2208605

@command.command("export")

.

If you want the exact bytes exactly as-seen on the wire, you need to switch to TCP mode. For example, mitmproxy will reassemble chunked message bodies before storing them in raw_content.

I'm writing addons in HTTP mode. So that either another addon or change mode is meaningless for me. Maybe I will still use a splice function to get whole request/response.

In penetration testing, we usually focus on the overall integrity of a package, and it may be a bit troublesome to take values one by one, but it is still acceptable. I was planning to ask if I could add a property to the Request and Response classes by submitting a PR, so that they don't have to take values separately each time.

Thank you for reply.
