# Reddit Proxy Server
## Introduction
This project serves as a proxy server for Reddit.com. It fetches content from Reddit, modifies specific text within the HTML, and sends the modified content to the client. The main features include appending a "™" symbol to six-letter words and ensuring all internal navigation links point to the proxy server.
## Features
- **URL Validation:** Checks if the provided URL is a valid Reddit URL.
- **User-Agent Specification:** Adds a User-Agent string to request headers for compatibility.
- **Content Modification:** Appends the "™" symbol to six-letter words within text content, excluding certain HTML elements like buttons, inputs, and scripts to maintain site functionality.
- **Internal Navigation Handling:** Modifies internal navigation links to ensure that all navigation is handled through the proxy server.
