@kokizzu or anyone else managed to make it worked with HTTPS ?

no @HopHouse, i ended using 3proxy, polipo2, squid3, and ssh -vND after tried a bunch of other alternatives, but apparently it's quite hard to find correct squid configuration/other working software that could cache https requests.

您好,请教个问题,如果我要用这个proxy解决浏览器跨域问题的话,是不是也要把静态页面部署到和这个proxy同样的端口上?不然依然访问不了这个proxy啊,求指教

不需要, 添加跨域访问CORS中间件即可.

TL;DR: https traffic is encrypted, a proxy is just a dumb intermediary between the client and server in this case.

https traffic is encrypted with the session key at the client (and server) side. Therefore the traffic in the different
sessions is always different, even if they are transferring the same content. In order to serve something from
the cache a proxy should have decrypted the traffic. Being able to decrypt the intercepted https traffic means
a successful attack on https. Sometimes this is possible (google for OpenSSL heartbleed).
However in general it's not feasible. And in most cases it's considered illegal.

So just do the HTTPS Proxy without cache.

Mind... blown...

awesome guys!

Great gist! I have one question. Why do you create a new instance of http.Client for each request? As stated in Golang documentation for http Client, it is concurrent safe and can be used concurrently by multiple goroutines?

Is there some downside of having a global http Client?

if req.URL.Scheme != "http" && req.URL.Scheme != "https" {
		msg := "unsupported protocal scheme " + req.URL.Scheme
		http.Error(wr, msg, http.StatusBadRequest)
		log.Println(msg)
		return
	}

i think this part is redundant since you are using ListenAndServe

hopHeaders needs Content-Length i think?

The req.URL.Scheme is nonfunctional - req.URL will always have a blank Scheme, as discussed in golang/go#28940. So this will always error out.
