# 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
## Prerequisites
- Golang (if building from source)
## Usage
### Running the Proxy
#### For Darwin/Linux:
1. Download the latest release for your platform from GitHub releases
2. Extract the downloaded archive:
```bash
tar -xvzf http-proxy-server-v{version}-{platform}-{arch}.tar.gz
```
3. Navigate to the extracted folder:
```bash
cd http-proxy-server-v{version}-{platform}-{arch}
```
4. Run the proxy:
```bash
./http-proxy-server --port <PORT> [--username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD>]
```
#### For Windows:
1. Download the latest release for Windows from GitHub releases
2. Extract the downloaded ZIP archive
3. Navigate to the extracted folder.
4. Open a command prompt in this directory.
5. Run the proxy:
```bash
proxy_name.exe --port <PORT> [--username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD>]
```
#### From Source
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/xzeldon/http-proxy-server.git
cd http-proxy-server
```
2. Run the proxy:
```bash
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:
```bash
go run main.go --port 1489
```
- To run the proxy on port `1489` with authentication:
```bash
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.
