@Joao,
Looks like you might not have the java command right. You might want to try “java -cp . proxy.ProxyServer”

Dude, i’m trying to run your proxy but it fails.
When I compile it with “javac *.java” everything goes OK but when I run “java ProxyServer” i get this error:

“Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ProxyServer (wrong name: proxy/ProxyServer)”

Could you help me?
Thanks man!

ps: Sorry for my english (=

@Gareth, glad it helped.
@Ngoc, I wrote the example to be very simple and only support GET requests intentionally to show what it takes. There are certainly ways to make this work for POST, but that would take more work, and I’ll leave that up to you as I mentioned in the article. You could also just download one of many free http proxy tools that are much more functional.

Hi John,

The code works for GET requests only.
How to make this work for other request, such as POST?

Tx.

Dear John,

Thank you for the example. I’d been trying lots of things for ages to get my code working.

Ta,

Gareth
