Proxy-Web-Server

This project implements a multithreaded HTTP/HTTPS proxy server with a built-in GUI using Python and tkinter. The proxy server supports caching, logs all events in a graphical interface, and maintains a list of cached websites.

Features

1. Handles both HTTP and HTTPS traffic
2. Real-time log output
3. Caching of HTTP responses
4. Ability to clear the log and cached websites
5. Graceful shutdown support

Requirements

• Python 3.x All required libraries are part of the standard Python library, so no additional installation is needed.

How to Run

1. Save the script.
2. Open Firfox, go to Settings.
3. Search for network settings, go to Settings...
4. Select Manual proxy configuration: HTTP Proxy-> 127.0.0.1 Port->8888
5. Check the box beside Also use this proxy for HTTPS.
6. Click OK and run the code on terminal.

Notes

• HTTPS traffic is handled via tunneling using the CONNECT method.
• Caching is currently limited to HTTP responses and based on URL hashing.
• This proxy is intended for educational/testing use— it does not handle advanced HTTP features like chunked transfer, gzip encoding, or cookies.
