Simple HTTP Tunneling Proxy Server in Go

This is a lightweight proxy server written in Go that supports HTTP requests and HTTPS tunneling.

Features

• Proxying HTTP requests
• Tunneling HTTPS requests
• Optional Basic Proxy Authentication
• Customizable port, username, and password using command-line arguments
• Logging

Requirements

• Go (version 1.x+)

Usage

Running the Proxy from source

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/xzeldon/http-proxy-server.git
cd http-proxy-server

2. Run the proxy:

go run main.go --port <PORT> [--username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD>]

By default, the proxy will run on port 3000. If both --username and --password are omitted, authentication will be bypassed.

For example:

• To run the proxy on port 1489 without authentication:

go run main.go --port 1489

• To run the proxy on port 1489 with authentication:

go run main.go --port 1489 --username admin --password admin123

Authentication

If you specify both --username and --password when starting the proxy, it will enforce Basic Proxy Authentication with the given credentials. If these parameters are omitted, the proxy will not require authentication.
