A lightweight http proxy.

• The latest version of Go (v1.22);
• The moq interface mocking tool;
• The golangci-lint linting tool;

To launch the application, simply type go run ./... or use make run.

If launching the application from a directory that is not the root of the project, make sure to include config flag with a path to a configuration.

go run ./... --config=path/to/config.yaml

A sane defaults are provided, however if needed, the defaults can be overwritten by creating a .env.config.yaml file inside the config directory.

• proxy_addr - string (default: :8081)
  Proxy server address.

• proxy_max_bytes - integer (64bit; default: 1000000000)
  Maximum bytes that can be used throughout the applications lifetime. Setting the value to 0 will turn off the bytes limit checking.

• proxy_auth_username - string (default: admin)
  Proxy server authentication username.

• proxy_auth_password - string (default: admin)
  Proxy server authentication password.

• log_level - string (default: info)
  Proxy logs level. Available levels: debug, info, warn, error.

To test the authorization and overall workflow of the application, an open-source FoxyProxy browser extension could be used.

To set it up, simply navigate to the Proxies and create a HTTP proxy. For the authorization to work as expected, a browser restart may be needed to pick up the correct credentials.
