Attorney Proxy Server

Attorney is a lightweight and flexible HTTP/HTTPS forward proxy server implemented in Go.

This project serves as a learning tool for understanding the intricacies of proxy servers and the HTTP CONNECT method.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/amitsuthar69/attorney.git
cd attorney

Install Air for live reload:

go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest

Run the server:

air

or

go build main.go
./main

Usage

1. Run the source code or build.
2. Add http://127.0.0.1 on port :8888 on your system's proxy configuration for both HTTP and HTTPS Proxy.
3. Make sure 127.0.0.1 is not listed in your machine's Ignored Hosts list.

How It Works

1. Proxying HTTPS Traffic: The proxy listens for CONNECT requests and establishes a TCP tunnel to the target server. Once the tunnel is established, it enables bidirectional data transfer between the client and the destination.

2. Request Handling: Hijacks HTTP connections to bypass HTTP/1.1 handling and directly interact with TCP sockets. Provides HTTP 200 response upon successful tunnel establishment.
