API-documentation

[phil]

Hi everyone,

I'm searching for an open-source Java based http/https proxy to use it as part of an academic project.

I found LittleProxy on github, and I'm trying to use it but I'm having some trouble because:

• API-documentation link doesn't work
• when I try to override methods like this @Override public HttpResponse clientToProxyRequest(HttpObject httpObject) into HttpFiltersAdapter it doesn't work

Hi Phil,

yes, the link is dead and will be removed. Please, have a look into the
source code for API documentation and the README.md in this branch
https://github.com/ganskef/LittleProxy/tree/update_readme

What do you need in your academic project? LittleProxy could be a good
choice. It uses modern nonblocking IO, since it's based on Netty. But,
event driven means it's definitely not easy as a simple socket connection.

Override won't work? Keep it simple and start with HTTP. Ok? HTTPS is
tunneled by default, which bypasses filtering at all.

LittleProxy provides HTTPS filtering with self signed certificates, if
you use a MitmManager. To use HTTPS interception with a Certificate
Authority, which create certificates on the fly, you have to use
https://github.com/ganskef/LittleProxy-mitm at the moment.

You're going to have to provide more information then "It doesn't work". Do you have a stacktrace, or a snippet of your code?

Hi Frank,

thank you for your answers. I'm following your tips and starting with HTTP, it seems to work.

I need a transparent proxy intercepting all http traffic, not only that related to web browser. 

So I think I would start Littleproxy as a daemon and configure my O.S. to send all of the traffic to it. Is it right?

Hi Phil,

yes, this should work, but for a transparent proxy you have to configure
a router with iptables or pf additionally. See:

http://mitmproxy.org/doc/howmitmproxy.html -> Transparent HTTP

I've seen such stuff with Android (rooted) in SandroProxy:

Of course, you could set your system wide proxy settings alternatively.
