This project aims to create a lightweight and scalable HTTP/HTTPS proxy server in C. The focus is on implementing core functionalities to ensure the proxy server works effectively.
- HTTP/1.1 Support: Handle HTTP/1.1 requests, methods, headers, and response codes.
- Persistent Connections: Support HTTP/1.1 Keep-Alive for multiple requests over a single connection.
- Multithreading: Handle multiple client connections concurrently for better scalability.
- Partial
recv/send: Support partial data transfers to efficiently handle large requests/responses. - Chunked Transfer Encoding: Process HTTP chunked transfers for streaming and large content.
- Compression Support: Implement support for major compression/decompression (gzip/deflate/br) standards in HTTP requests and responses.
- HTTPS Support: Implement SSL/TLS tunneling for HTTPS traffic using the
CONNECTmethod.
- Logging: Track requests, responses, errors, and connection details for monitoring and debugging via clog.
- Request Throttling: Limit client request rates to prevent abuse and ensure resource fairness.
- Timeout Management: Handle connection/request timeouts to prevent resource waste.
- Text-Based User Interface (TUI): Real-time console for monitoring server activity and logs.
- Caching: Store responses for faster retrieval of frequently accessed content.
- Web filtering: Implement a feature to block access to specified websites.
- IPv6 Support: Implement IPv6 support for both client and server.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/0xA1M/HTTProxy/
- Build the project:
cd HTTProxy make
To run the proxy server, use the following command, specifying the port number on which the server will listen for incoming connections:
./httproxy <port_number>Configure your browser to use the proxy server by setting the HTTP proxy settings to point to the server's address and port.
- Linux (no Windows or macOS support)
