Proxomitron Reborn

[whenever]

A new bug is caught.

If you have https filtering enabled, clicking Abort while Active connections is NOT 0 will make Proxomitron refuse accepting new connections.

While the Aborting is finished, the log window shows below message. Seems to be a ports binding issue.

Code:

Listening on port 8443
Listening on port 8080

The problem doesn't appear to happen if you have https filtering disabled (Untick Use SSLeay/OpenSSL in HTTP tab of the settings).

Some feature thoughts for discussion.

1. The debug view shows incoming headers now. What about showing outgoing headers (with any header filters applied) too?

2. Improve the proxy testing function.

Quote:Testing a proxy

The Proxomitron can perform a "loopback" test on an external proxy. During the test the Proxomitron makes a request for a web page - through the remote proxy - back to itself. It then monitors both ends of the conversation. Use it to tell if a particular proxy server is accessible and available for use.

The original test connects back to the host where Proxomitron is running. It works at the age where Proxomitron was just born and everybody had a public IP address but now most users are behind a router/NAT and have a private IP address so the "loopback" test barely works.

The suggest is to make the destination a user configurable external URL.

3. Port Proxomitron to Linux world so that we can run it on our routers. A command line only version is enough.
