Throxy: throttling HTTP proxy in one Python file * Simulate a slow connection (like dial-up). * Adjustable bandwidth limit for download and upload. * Optionally dump HTTP headers and content for debugging. * Decompress gzip content encoding for debugging. * Multiple connections, without threads (uses asyncore). * Only one source file, written in pure Python.
To use it, run throxy.py on your local machine and adjust your browser settings to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as HTTP proxy. Simulate analog modem connection: $ python throxy.py -u28.8 -d57.6 Show all HTTP headers (request & reply): $ python throxy.py -qrs Dump HTTP headers and content to a file, without size limits: $ python throxy.py -rsRS -l0 -L0 -g0 > dump.txt Tell command line tools to use the proxy: $ export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080 Command line options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -i <ip> listen on this interface only (default all) -p <port> listen on this port number (default 8080) -d <kbps> download bandwidth in kbps (default 28.8) -u <kbps> upload bandwidth in kbps (default 28.8) -o allow remote clients (WARNING: open proxy) -q don't show connect and disconnect messages -s dump headers sent to server -r dump headers received from server -S dump content sent to server -R dump content received from server -l <bytes> maximum length of dumped text content (default 1024) -L <bytes> maximum length of dumped binary content (default 256) -g <bytes> maximum size for gzip decompression (default 8192) Subversion repository (or simple download): http://svn.browsershots.org/trunk/throxy/throxy.py Pretty source code (and change history): http://trac.browsershots.org/browser/trunk/throxy/throxy.py This is a very early release.
