A HTTP proxy server that only correctly handles the `CONNECT` verb, kind of. It
create a TLS with a valid certificate signed by a generated CA certificate and
returns `HTTP/1.1 200 OK`.
This is just a project to get familiar with the OpenSSL library, the HTTP proxy
tunnelling protocol and on-the-fly certificate generation. It is not intended
to be a useful proxy server.
// create ca key, password=password
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 2048
// create ca pem, defaults should be ok
openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key ca.key -sha256 -days 1024 -out ca.pem
// build the server
make
// run the server
./server
// test the server
curl https://any.server.it.does.not.matter --cacert ca.pem --proxy localhost:4433
