I've been working for a few months on a HTTP::Proxy module.
My goal is multiple:
- being able to apply "filters" on both headers and body, on
request and response (filters being applied when the request/content
matches certain conditions (mime type, uri, etc)
=> this part mostly works, but not in 0.04 (the last published
version)
I still have a few problems with Content-Length, since the
proxy returns the original one, even when modifying the body
- being able to log entire sessions, and then (with another module)
use the information in a tree, to be able to automatically
create web robots (using WWW::Mechanize) than one could easily
modify to suit ones needs.
=> this part is not even started :-(
- adding correct support of RFC 2616, of keep-alive connections,
and so on
There is a web page for the project, as well as a mailing-list that
receives the commit emails. I am the only person to read these mails
for the moment. ;-)
See http://http-proxy.mongueurs.net/ for more information, and a
snapshot of the CVS repository.

I guess so. :-)
