Writing a fully-compliant rewriting http proxy is non-trivial, but still
do-able. You could have a look
here<http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/qemu.git;a=blob;f=proxy/proxy_http_rewriter.c;h=afd929c0a48e7a635a8a8423a1f1566f34b628ec;hb=master>to
see how the one in the emulator is implemented, but there are probably
easier ways to do that if you use a dedicated thread instead.

However, I'm a bit doubtful about using such a solution to solve your
original problem. Do you have more details about it ?
