SYNOPSIS
proxy-server [server-ip] [server-port] [:prefix=filename_prefix] [:overwrite=false] [:start=0]

DESCRIPTION
proxy-server is a crude http proxy server which accepts one connection at a time and logs all information about the transaction between the client and server to a set of files containing a sequence number. The client request is logged to file type req the responsed headers from the server are file type hdr and the content from the server to a file type which depends on the mime type of the result, txt , html , gif , jpg are supported, and the default for any unknown are unspecified type is dat

  COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

[server-ip]
    The server-ip defaults to 0.0.0.0.

[server-port]
    The server-port defaults to 9000.

:prefix=XXXX
    The XXXXX is the prefix used for the transaction log files. It defaults to YEAR MONTH DAY HOUR MINUTE SECOND of the time the command was stated.

:start=index
    The index plus 1 is the first filename created.

:overwrite=status
    The status is false, the default, to prevent the proxy server from overwriting its log files. A setting of true will allow files to be overwritten, and a setting of skip will cause the filename counter to be incremented until an overwrite is avoided.

BUGS
This utility isn't robust enough to run continuously as a proxy server. It is intended to be run from the command line, to be monitored during use, and to be restarted manually if needed. You might see errors messages such as empty request from client, accept (errobj Protocol error) and recv (errobj Connection reset by peer), from time to time, depending on the client browser and tcp stack.
