HTTP Proxy Server in Python (with authentication)

Question

I needed a simple HTTP proxy server written in Python so I began googling around and found this page. Not all the proxies were working and so I settled for this or this. ..but neither of them support authentication. Has anyone come across a HTTP Proxy Server written in Python that supports authentication?

Thanks.

Answer 2

Considering using Twisted. With Twisted, it is fairly trivial to implement an HTTP proxy. You can also extend it to support authentication as discussed here.

This approach of course requires some Python programming. The advantage is that with this kind of custom approach, you can create a custom wrapper to practically any kind of user directory, etc.
