How to write a proxy-server in Python?

Question

(Edited to note: exact duplicate of 989739)

Could you give any suggestions or online sourses as to the matter of writing one's own client proxy-server? In particular, this proxy must be able to make one thing: replace the HTTP-headers sent by browsers with my own ones.

Answer 1

Have a look at Tiny HTTP Proxy (1) and of course the related docs (2). It's basically running a server and handling requests.
