Making a java proxy client that would catch all http packets ...

[guillaume.braux]

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to make a multiplatform (so java !) proxy
client, without the need to configure ANY proxy configuration in the
client browser.
I am thinking about a way to have my java proxy client catching all
HTTP traffic, and forwarding them to the proxy server (after having
modified the http headers in the right way).

Do you have any idea on how I could achieve my goal ? ... I think I
will have to work at low level (tcp stack) to intercept http, but I
don't know is java is capable of this sort of things ...

Thanks for your answers,

Guillaume

It is not.
