X-Ray Proxy

X-Ray Proxy is a lightweight, multi-threaded HTTP/HTTPS proxy server implemented in Python. This project serves as a basic example of how to create a transparent proxy that can handle both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

Features

Supports both HTTP and HTTPS connections
Multi-threaded design for handling multiple connections simultaneously
Parses incoming requests to determine target host and port
Establishes connections to target servers on behalf of clients
Facilitates bidirectional communication between clients and servers

How It Works

The proxy listens for incoming connections on a specified host and port.
For each new connection, a separate thread is spawned to handle the client.
The client's request is parsed to determine the target server and port.
A connection is established with the target server.
Two additional threads are created to handle bidirectional data flow between the client and the server.
For HTTPS connections, the socket is wrapped with SSL.

Usage

Run the script on your local machine:
1. Configure your browser or application to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as the proxy server.

Limitations and Disclaimer

This is a basic implementation intended for educational purposes. It lacks many features of a production-ready proxy, such as:

Robust error handling
Logging
Security measures (e.g., authentication, encryption)
Performance optimizations

Do not use this in a production environment without significant improvements.

Contributing

Contributions to improve the proxy or add features are welcome. Please feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue to discuss potential changes/additions.
