I'm trying to make a proxy server with C#. Here's my code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TcpListener server = null;
try
{
// Set the TcpListener on port 13000.
Int32 port = 13000;
IPAddress localAddr = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");
// TcpListener server = new TcpListener(port);
server = new TcpListener(localAddr, port);
// Start listening for client requests.
server.Start();
// Buffer for reading data
Byte[] bytes = new Byte[256];
String data = null;
WebRequest request;
WebResponse response;
// Enter the listening loop.
while (true)
{
Console.Write("Waiting for a connection... ");
// Perform a blocking call to accept requests.
// You could also user server.AcceptSocket() here.
TcpClient client = server.AcceptTcpClient();
Console.WriteLine("Connected!");
data = null;
// Get a stream object for reading and writing
NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
int i;
String[] input;
// Loop to receive all the data sent by the client.
while (stream.DataAvailable)
{
data = null;
i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
// Translate data bytes to a ASCII string.
data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, 0, i);
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Received: {0}", data));
input = data.Split();
Console.WriteLine("\n\r\n input[1]" + input[1] + "\n");
Stream dataStream;
StreamReader reader;
string responseFromServer;
try
{
request = WebRequest.Create(input[1]);
response = request.GetResponse();
// Process the data sent by the client.
data = data.ToUpper();
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
// Read the content.
responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
// Display the content
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
// Clean up the streams and the response.
byte[] msg = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(responseFromServer);
// Send back a response.
stream.Write(msg, 0, msg.Length);
// Console.WriteLine("Sent: {0}", data);
//stream.Write();
reader.Close();
response.Close();
}
catch (System.UriFormatException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception due to" + e.Data);
Console.WriteLine("Input[1] = " + input[1]);
}
data = null;
}
// Shutdown and end connection
client.Close();
}
}
catch (SocketException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("SocketException: {0}", e);
}
finally
{
// Stop listening for new clients.
server.Stop();
}
Console.WriteLine("\nHit enter to continue...");
Console.Read();
}
It does not work for ssl requests but seems to work for http. However, it does not load any images. I'm using Firefox as the browser. Any ideas why? Also is this the best way to make a proxy server? Are there any other methods?
