A HttpProxy based on NodeJS

Author: Arno0x0x - @Arno0x0x

HttpProxy is a forward HTTP Proxy written in Javascript and based on NodeJS libraries and runtime.

HttpProxy is NOT a reverse proxy.

I wrote this script :

1. As an exercise to learn NodeJS environment and features. Can you imagine writing a fully functionnal proxy (ok, no caching nor advanced features, but still...) in just a few hundred lines ? :)

2. Fulfill the gap in existing Http proxies written with NodeJs that I found and that were all missing something

This script is distributed under the terms of the GPLv3 licence.

Dependencies

HttpProxy requires NodeJS to run it and that's pretty much it. The script is based only on NodeJS core modules so no additionnal module is required.

Features

HttpProxy feature are pretty basic:

• Supports HTTP and HTTPS (through the CONNECT method) connection

• Supports an optionnal upstream proxy

• Provides some basic logging debug features, easily extensible

Installation

Simply copy the HttpProxy.js and the config.js in the same directory. Edit the config.js to tune the proxy settings.

How does it work ?

Simply run the script via NodeJS binary:

# node HttpProxy.js

Configuration

Edit the config.js file to match your needs. The comments in the config file are pretty self explanatory.
