web_tunnel

Very simple HTTP Tunnel. Useful for quick debugging of http requests. Also supports replacing host header so this can function as a poor man's web debugging tool.

Example usage

python web_tunnel.py -p 8888 myapi.internal 8080

With host name replacement (tricking test server into believing it's production)

python web_tunnel.py -p 8888 -r api.example.com myapi.internal 80

In both cases you can now connect to localhost:8888 and talk to myapi.internal server. If you want to see the content of the requests and responses add '-vv' argument.

Advanced usage

If you need to trick the client into using a different hostname then set the tunnel to be the default SOCKS proxy. Note that only your site will work (for now at least).
