Thanks for your help Jean-Paul. In my example I've just subclassed the protocol and factory so I could print out the properties and have a little control over things as I learn. The proxy could of course be much easily run as from twisted.web import http f = http.HTTPFactory() f.protocol = Proxy I should be a bit more specific about what I'm currently confused about. *I'm trying to find where I can grab the request URI from the client so I can modify it from www.asdf.com.MYPROXYSITE.com to www.asdf.com before the proxy client makes its requests. Where can you access and modify those parameters?* Dave On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 1:41 PM, Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>wrote:

I'm trying to make a simple web-based proxy. Similar to the proxy in the Twisted book, but with a web interface. So I could go to http://asdf.com.MYPROXYSITE.com and see the contents of asdf.com.
I have the following code that works well as a browser proxy, but I need to figure out how make it web based.
My thoughts are that I need to make an HTTP server and then adjust the address in the protocol before finishing the proxy request. Am I on the right track? Does anyone have examples of this?
The HTTP proxy implemented in twisted.web.proxy is probably a better starting point. Or, it's at least a good example of how to get a basic proxy together. :)
I think you're on the right track, but if you don't want to have to implement this all yourself, you probably don't have to.
