Proxy Server

An HTTP proxy server implemented via python socket programming with caching

Authors

proxy.py is the main proxy file
Proxy runs on some specific ports, some ports are reserved for clients and some for servers
. folder contains the server and the client codes
- Client keeps asking any file [1-4].data/txt from server by GET or POST method
- Server listens to specified port and serves any file as asked
Proxy works as middleman between the server and client and it does caching, authentication, etc
Only GET requests are handled

Receives the request from client and pass it to the server after necessary parsing
Cache has limited size, so if the cache is full and proxy wants to store another response then it removes the least recently asked cached response. Cache limit can be set by setting up the constant in proxy.py file
