draft-http-tunnel

Introduction

An experimental HTTP tunnel implementing the HTTP CONNECT negotiation. I'm implementing this as a toy project in my free time to learn new C++ features and techniques, inspired by this excellent article using Rust.

I also want to add some features to limit the amount of time my kids spend on the Internet. :-)

How to build

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/cmello/draft-http-tunnel.git
cd draft-http-tunnel
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make

How to use

• Run the proxy built:

./draft_http_tunnel

• Set the proxy of your web browser to http://localhost:8080. For Safari users, click the Safari menu, Preferences, Advanced, Proxies: Change settings, check both HTTP and HTTPS and fill the Web Proxy Server fields with localhost and 8080.
