DESCRIPTION

build_proxy is a simple wrapper around HTTP::Proxy::Builder. It lets you combine several proxies written using HTTP::Proxy and HTTP::Proxy::Builder into a single one. Each proxy program can still be used independently.

How to transform a program based on HTTP::Proxy

A proxy like the following:

use HTTP::Proxy;
use HTTP::Proxy:: ...;    # required filter modules

my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new(@ARGV);
$proxy->push_filter(...);
$proxy->start();

Can be made usable by build_proxy by transforming it into this:

use HTTP::Proxy::Builder;
use HTTP::Proxy:: ...;    # required filter modules

$proxy->push_filter(...);

Basically:

  • replace use HTTP::Proxy by use HTTP::Proxy::Builder,

  • remove calls to HTTP::Proxy->new(),

  • remove calls to $rpxoy->start().
