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?

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.
