Doesn't a proxy server always get absolute urls, or am I misunderstanding?

Consider bugzilla's, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ , html:

Code:

<link href="skins/standard/global.css"
            rel="stylesheet"
            type="text/css">

The browser creates https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/skins/custom/global.css from the relative link "skins/standard/global.css" and the base address.

A ProxHTTPSProxy 307 with query string tag would create an base address like http://bugzilla.mozilla.org:443/?=gotcha. The browser would then create http://bugzilla.mozilla.org:443/skins/custom/global.css. Query string tagging ProxHTTPSProxy would mistakenly pass this 'global.css' address as plain http over 443. I think.

Try ver 0.4.

ProxHTTPSProxy now maintains a host:port list in memory for 307s.

No need. Plain http on 443 won't get into ProxHTTPSProxy's list.

This is probably the better choice. Documentation should be simpler. Easier for the user to understand and configure. List should still be fairly small.

Half_SSL working at all sites tested.

I just added/modified 2 lines. Testing took more time.

A little less than I guessed but you took a simpler path.
Python appears to be (at least) a fairly good prototyping language.

Have fun
