you'd need a release from the development version which allows you to stack proxies within HTTP. This means that another proxy module receives the data portion of each HTTP request. What do you want to change in the HTTP body?

It is currently not possible with plain 2.0. I'll schedule a release if you are interested.

I'm actually interested in compressing the HTTP data flow. Could you send me the development version so that I can start working on it? When did you plan on releasing the new version?

This would be possible by developing a GZIP proxy, which is currently not available. The GZIP proxy would receive the data flow from the HTTP proxy, compress it, and the only thing left would be to add a Content-Encoding field from the HTTP proxy. Something like this: class GzipHttpProxy(HttpProxy): class EncodeGzipProxy(GzipProxy): def config(self): GzipProxy.config(self) self.client_need_gzip = FALSE self.server_need_gzip = TRUE def config(self): HttpProxy.config(self) self.response_headers["Content-Encoding"] = (HTTP_HDR_INSERT, "gzip") self.stack_proxy = EncodeGzipProxy Implementing a gzip proxy is not difficult, simply reading all input and compressing/decompressing it on the fly would not be too difficult. (maybe a z_stream_gzip class would suffice and then a simple Plug proxy could perform this task) -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
