Subject: MiTM with https there are any tools ?

Just discovered that last link for Achilles was a bad link, but here's a 
description of what it does (or did)...

"Achilles is a tool designed for testing the security of web 
applications. Achilles is a proxy
server, which acts as a man-in-the-middle during an HTTP session. A 
typical HTTP
proxy will relay packets to and from a client browser and a web server. 
Achilles will
intercept an HTTP session?s data in either direction and give the user 
the ability to alter
the data before transmission. For example, during a normal HTTP SSL 
connection a
typical proxy will relay the session between the server and the client 
and allow the two
end nodes to negotiate SSL. In contrast, when in intercept mode, 
Achilles will pretend to
be the server and negotiate two SSL sessions, one with the client 
browser and another
with the web server. As data is transmitted between the two nodes, 
Achilles decrypts the
data and gives the user the ability to alter and/or log the data in 
clear text before
transmission."
