mitmdump error: too many file descriptors in select() issue in windows-CodePudding

I try to capture requests on Android applications using mitmdump and python script, but mitmdump seems to be easily blocked and throws the following error:

The mitmdump server is running in windows. It seems to limit the concurrency of mitmdump, but I don't know how to modify the source code.Could anyone share some idea for it?

CodePudding user response：

The latest development releases (what will eventually be 8.0) use the ProactorEventLoop on Windows, which fixes this issue.

For now you can either have fewer concurrent connections, or upgrade to the development snapshots.
