LittleShoot Java HTTP Proxy - LittleProxy

The [LittleShoot|http://www.littleshoot.org] HTTP proxy, or "LittleProxy", is a *high-performance open source HTTP proxy* written in Java using Trustin Lee's fantastic [Netty|http://jboss.org/netty/] networking IO framework. LittleProxy is licensed under the Apache 2 license. You can find more documentation for LittleProxy on the [LittleShoot site|http://www.littleshoot.org/littleproxy], including JavaDocs.

You can find code for the latest release of LittleProxy here:

You can also just clone git directly in read-only mode, as follows:

{noformat}
git clone git://github.com/adamfisk/LittleProxy.git
{noformat}

To build the proxy, you need to have Maven installed. You can get it [here|http://maven.apache.org/download.html]. Once you have maven, just type:

{noformat}
cd LittleProxy
{noformat}

and

{noformat}
mvn install
{noformat}

To run the proxy, simply type:

{noformat}
./run.bash
{noformat}

or
{noformat}
./run.bash &
{noformat}

LittleProxy is still in its infancy, so the only configuration option is to *pass the listening port as the first argument on the command line*. If you pass no argument, the proxy simply runs on *default port 8080*. More options coming soon\!

If you want to bring the proxy into Eclipse or Idea, type
{noformat}
mvn eclipse:eclipse
{noformat}

or
{noformat}
mvn idea:idea
{noformat}

and then "Import existing project into workspace" from within Eclipse. You should be able to just open the project in IDEA. For Eclipse, you'll need to the set the "M2_REPO" variable to tell Eclipse the path to your local Maven repository. On Windows, this is "C:/Users/[your_user_name]/.m2/repository" (at least for Vista and Windows 7). On OSX and Linux, this should be "~/.m2/repository". You can set it under "Java->Build Path->Classpath Variables" in your preferences.

To change the logging configuration, you can modify the src/main/resources/log4j.properties file. You can change, for example, the following line from:

{noformat}
log4j.logger.org.littleshoot.proxy=warn
{noformat}

to

{noformat}
log4j.logger.org.littleshoot.proxy=all
{noformat}

By default, log statements will go to both the log.txt file and to console. To remove console logging, make the following change:

{noformat}
log4j.rootLogger=warn, stdout, TextFile
{noformat}

to

{noformat}
log4j.rootLogger=warn, TextFile
{noformat}

If you want to start LittleProxy programmatically, you can run the following:

{noformat}
final HttpProxyServer server = new DefaultHttpProxyServer(8080);
server.start();
{noformat}
