Simple Python Proxy server that handle POST requests

Question

I am trying to build a simple proxy server in Python that serves as the middle person that monitors and retrieves all the requests/traffic that is passed between my web browser and the Internet. I found the following code:

import SocketServer
import SimpleHTTPServer
import urllib

PORT = 1234

class Proxy(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.copyfile(urllib.urlopen(self.path), self.wfile)

httpd = SocketServer.ForkingTCPServer(('', PORT), Proxy)
print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()

But the example only handles GET requests. Is there a way for the proxy server to handle the POST requests traffic from the browser as well? Thank you so much for your help! :)

Answer 1

just like you implemented do_GET , you can also implement do_POST in your Proxy class. This should probably work. You can refer this .
