Unable to act as transparent proxy [Temp Patch Included] #2
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Apply an IPTables transparent proxy rule a la:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT
--to-destination [YOUR IP]:8080
2. engage the proxpy at port 8080
3. set the computer running proxpy as your gateway
4. Browse to a *NON HTTPS WEBSITE*
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is a webpage -- instead the program hangs as it tries to
contact an HTTPS version of the site -- but https sites fail to process (due to
another unrelated bug)
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Most recent, various versions of linux
Please provide any additional information below.
Fixed this by removing 's' from 'https' in parameters to the _fixurl hack in
http module. Unfortunately HTTPS is broken though.
