I'm a newbie programmer looking to create a simple proxy in C that forwards HTTP requests (through TCP). Are there any resources online that can get me started? I've already looked at "Beej's Guide to Network Programming" as it came highly recommended, but I find it to be a little incomplete and hard to follow. Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Proxy in C++ Proxy is a structural design pattern that provides an object that acts as a substitute for a real service object used by a client. A proxy receives client requests, does some work (access control, caching, etc.) and then passes the request to a service object.
You can use the HTTPS-proxy to secure a web server protected by your Firebox or Firebox, or to examine HTTPS traffic requested by clients on your network. By default, when an HTTPS client starts a request, it establishes a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connection on port 443.
An open proxy is a type of proxy server that is accessible by any Internet user. Generally, a proxy server only allows users within a network group (i.e. a closed proxy) to store and forward Internet services such as DNS or web pages to reduce and control the bandwidth used by the group.
Why reinventing the wheel? There is tinyproxy that is fully featured, opensource and free.
