 Munging HTTP Proxy -- Manipulate HTTP requests easily

=======================================================

``munging_http_proxy`` lets you easily modify or intercept HTTP

requests passing through the proxy. All you need to do is write a

Python function that takes a WebOb_ ``Request``, and either mutates it

and returns ``None`` (request will be passed on, and the response from

the server relayed to the client), or directly returns a suitable

WebOb ``Response`` (server will never be contacted).

.. _WebOb: http://webob.org/

Note that some of the fields of a WebOb ``Request`` are read-only

properties. For example, you cannot set ``req.path``, you'll have to

set ``req.path_info`` and/or ``req.script_name``.

``munging_http_proxy`` also contains an interactive mode, where every

request is explorable in an interactive Python session. In this mode,

use ``req`` to access the ``Request``, and set ``resp`` if you wish to

directly return a specific ``Response``. For convenience, any other

variables you set are remembered between the requests.

To get started, type::

	./bootstrap

And for interactive mode, type::

	./virtualenv/bin/interactive-http-proxy

Now you can make requests using the HTTP proxy. For example (in

another window)::

	http_proxy=http://localhost:8088/ wget -nv -O- 'http://example.com/'
