The goal is to write a web service that acts as an HTTP proxy in the language of your choice. You can use google, StackOverflow, etc. and any external libraries you wish, unless it's a library that does exactly this. The only method that needs to be implemented is / proxy/<url> It should listen for both GET and POST On a GET request, it should make a get request to <url> On a POST request, it should make a post request to <url>, passing through any form data It should set the user-agent header to the same user-agent that it is being called by (note curl/7.35.0 in the examples) Assuming the web service is running on localhost:8000, here are some examples of how it can be used: $ curl http://localhost:8000/ proxy/http://httpbin.org/get { "args": {}, "headers": { "Accept": "*/*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", "Host": "httpbin.org", "User-Agent": "curl/7.35.0" }, "origin": "99.250.201.200", "url": "http://httpbin.org/get" } $ curl -X POST -d asdf=blah http://localhost:8000/ proxy/http://httpbin.org/post { "args": {}, "data": "", "files": {}, "form": { "asdf": "blah" }, "headers": { "Accept": "*/*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", "Content-Length": "9", "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Host": "httpbin.org", "User-Agent": "curl/7.35.0" }, "json": null, "origin": "99.250.201.200", "url": "http://httpbin.org/post" } No time pressure, just upload the code to github whenever you have time to complete and send me a link. Let me know if there's anything that isn't clear or if you have any questions.
