Client side http proxy in ruby

Question

What is a good approach to a client proxy written in ruby that I can use to create a custom filter.

So far I've found

• Ruby Proxy using webrick

• Mousehole, a scriptable Ruby proxy by _why (UPDATE this was not robust)

A little on the fringe, this guy wants to Use rack as thin proxy with his question. I don't think he got an answer; or even a hint that it was possible.

What is your advice on these suggested approaches or do you have a better approach.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I can’t speak on personal experience as I’ve not done this myself, but I have heard of mouseHole before and it seems to be a good package. Why not try writing a simple script for it and see how you find it?

There are also some sample scripts in that repository that you could check out.
