Ever wondered where those huge lists of mostly-broken public proxies come from? I don't, anymore. I saw a server become compromised by a rootkit, and appear in one of those lists. A badly thought-out apache configuration also made a different server of mine appear in one of those lists, and even after I fixed it, I was getting 403's for months from people trying to use it as a proxy.
Those lists are full of computers that are, or were, compromised. My advice? Get your own.

I am having a hard time with this one. We have a websocket server listening on port 80 at myserver.com/wsDemo?ID=12. We need to test a client program by connecting it to this server through a proxy.

I'm fairly new to bash scripts, and all things unix in general. But I was in desperate need of this script, so I took matters into my own hands and built it!

HTTP::Recorder(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTTP::Recorder(3pm)NAME
HTTP::Recorder - record interaction with websites
SYNOPSIS
Using HTTP::Recorder as a Web Proxy
Set HTTP::Recorder as the user agent for a proxy, and it rewrites HTTP responses so that additional requests can be recorded.
The Proxy Script
For quick start, run the httprecorder script
httprecorder
This will open a local proxy on port 8080, and will dump the recorded traffic to a file named http_traffic in the current directory. use
the -help parameter for usage info
Start the proxy script, then change the settings in your web browser so that it will use this proxy for web requests. For more information
about proxy settings and the default port, see HTTP::Proxy.
The script will be recorded in the specified file, and can be viewed and modified via the control panel.
For better control, use this example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use HTTP::Proxy;
use HTTP::Recorder;
my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new();
# create a new HTTP::Recorder object
my $agent = new HTTP::Recorder;
# set the log file (optional)
$agent->file("/tmp/myfile");
# set HTTP::Recorder as the agent for the proxy
$proxy->agent( $agent );
# start the proxy
$proxy->start();
Start Recording
Now you can use your browser as your normally would, and your actions will be recorded in the file you specified. Alternatively, you can
start recording from the Control Panel.
Using the Control Panel
If you have Javascript enabled in your browser, go to the HTTP::Recorder control URL (http://http-recorder by default), optionally type a
URL into the "Goto page" field, and click "Go".
In the new window, interact with web sites as you normally do, including typing a new address into the address field. The Control Panel
will be updated after each recorded action.
The Control Panel allows you to modify, delete, or save your script.
SSL sessions
As of version 0.03, HTTP::Recorder can record SSL sessions.
To begin recording an SSL session, go to the control URL (http://http-recorder/ by default), and enter the initial URL. Then, interact
with the web site as usual.
Script output
By default, HTTP::Recorder outputs WWW::Mechanize scripts.
However, you can override HTTP::Recorder::Logger to output other types of scripts.
Functions
new
Creates and returns a new HTTP::Recorder object, referred to as the 'agent'.
$agent->prefix([$value])
Get or set the prefix string that HTTP::Recorder uses for rewriting responses.
$agent->control([$value])
Get or set the URL of the control panel. By default, the control URL is 'http-recorder'.
The control URL will display a control panel which will allow you to view and edit the current script.
$agent->logger([$value])
Get or set the logger object. The default logger is a HTTP::Recorder::Logger, which generates WWW::Mechanize scripts.
$agent->ignore_favicon([0|1])
Get or set ignore_favicon flag that causes HTTP::Recorder to skip logging requests favicon.ico files. The value is 1 by default.
$agent->file([$value])
Get or set the filename for generated scripts. The default is '/tmp/scriptfile'.
Bugs, Missing Features, and other Oddities
Javascript
WWW::Mechanize can't play back Javascript actions, and HTTP::Recorder doesn't record them.
Why are my images corrupted?
HTTP::Recorder only tries to rewrite responses that are of type text/*, which it determines by reading the Content-Type header of the
HTTP::Response object. However, if the received image gives the wrong Content-Type header, it may be corrupted by the recorder. While
this may not be pleasant to look at, it shouldn't have an effect on your recording session.

Requests & Bugs
Please submit any feature requests, suggestions, bugs, or patches at http://rt.cpan.org/, or email to bug-HTTP-Recorder@rt.cpan.org.
If you're submitting a bug of the type "X doesn't record correctly," be sure to include a (preferably short and simple) HTML page that
demonstrates the problem, and a clear explanation of a) what it does that it shouldn't, and b) what it should do instead.
