For months (actually years) I have been trying to learn how to
write a Perl proxy that can do the following: intercept *all* HTTP
and HTTPS traffic to and from my browser, and write all of it to
a log file, decoding and encoding the HTTPS stuff as necessary so
that all the logged text is intelligible. The proxy must be able
to handle redirection, pop-ups, frames, and any other tricks the
browser and server may be up to.
I have looked everywhere for help with this; I have consulted every
Perl book I know, I have asked every Perl programmer I know, and
posted in every Perl forum I know. I have found that Perl programmers
fall in two sets: the ones that don't know how to do this (I am in
this set), and those for whom it is so obvious and trivial that
asking them how to do it is like asking someone to explain to you
how to swallow. "What do you mean how to swallow? Just...
swallow!!!"
I have to conclude that the problem is difficult enough that its
solution cannot be readily explained to someone who doesn't already
know how to solve it. Hence I need a teacher: someone I will *pay*
to explain to me how to do this. Or better yet, someone who will
write the proxy for me, with enough comments that I will be able
to understand it completely.
Where? Who? How much?
Thanks!
