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

Clone the repository:

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

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.
