Throxy: throttling HTTP proxy in one Python file
To use it, run this script on your local machine and adjust your
browser settings to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as HTTP proxy.
* Simulate a slow connection (like dial-up).
* Adjustable bandwidth limit for download and upload.
* Optionally dump HTTP headers and content for debugging.
* Decompress gzip content encoding for debugging.
* Multiple connections, without threads (uses asyncore).
* Only one source file, written in pure Python.
Simulate analog modem connection:
$ python throxy.py -u28.8 -d57.6
Show all HTTP headers (request & reply):
$ python throxy.py -qrs
Dump HTTP headers and content to a file, without size limits:
$ python throxy.py -rsRS -l0 -L0 -g0 > dump.txt
Tell command line tools to use the proxy:
$ export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
