I needed a simple HTTP proxy server that i could point my browser to and it would always forward my requests to a single host:port. I don't want a general proxy solution (no browser configuration) and I couldn't quickly find one online. That's when I decided to give Python and Twisted a try. Here's how it turned out. It seems to work great but as I'm a Twisted newbie and it only took me an hour or so to implement I'm guessing there's a more elegant way of doing this. For example the parameter passing (host, port, data) from host objects to protocol instances accounts for lot of the lines in the implementation. Any comments are more than welcome (email to webmaster).
