Building a proxy server

I am trying to build a HTTP proxy. The listening and accepting module is already ready. I want to use libwww to get the request (data) from the client, make some modification to it and send it to the destination server.

 

1. A live socket descriptor is given after a TCP connection from the client is established.
2. I need to get HTTP data from this descriptor using libwww. (I want all the chunk handling and parsing of headers to be done by libwww)
3. I need to parse this data, do some modification to it and send it to the destination server.
4. I don’t need to tamper any HTTP headers only the data portion needs to be modified.
5. I also need to create my own request and send it to the destination server with anything being sent by the client.

 

How do I use a live socket and bind it with libwww and get data to and from client and server.

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

And does anybody use libwww nowadays I don’t seem to find any posts in the mailing list. Has libwww become obsolete.
