Compy
Compy is an HTTP/HTTPS forward proxy with content compression/transcoding capabilities.
One use case is to reduce bandwidth usage when browsing on limited mobile broadband connection.
Features:
- HTTPS proxy (encrypted connection between client and proxy)
- man in the middle support (compress HTTPS traffic)
- HTTP2 support (over tls)
- gzip compression
- transcode animated gifs to static images
- transcode jpeg images to desired quality using libjpeg
- transcode png images
- html/css/js minification
Installation
go get github.com/barnacs/compy
HTTPS
To use the proxy over HTTPS, you will need a certificate for your host. If you don't already have one, you can get one for free or you can generate a self-signed cert by running:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout cert.key -out cert.crt -days 3650 -subj '/CN=<your-domain>'
then visit the proxy url and confirm that you trust your own certificate
To connect to the proxy over tls, you will need to supply a PAC (proxy auto-config) file to the browser, as most of them do not expose this option to the UI directly. Example:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if (url.substring(0, 5) == 'http:' || url.substring(0, 6) == 'https:') {
return "HTTPS <your-domain>:9999";
}
return "DIRECT";
}
This tells the browser to fetch http/https urls via the https proxy and for all other schemas (eg. websocket) connect directly.
Set the path to this file in the browser UI and you're good to go.
MitM
To enable man-in-the-middle support, you will need to generate a root cert to sign all the certs generated by the proxy on the fly:
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout ca.key -out ca.crt -days 3650 -subj '/CN=<your-domain>'
and add it to your client (browser) as a trusted certificate authority
Usage
To run a simple http forward proxy:
compy
To run it over tls:
compy -cert cert.crt -key cert.key
With man in the middle support:
compy -ca ca.crt -cakey ca.key
Probably the best option is to run it with both tls and mitm support, combining the two:
compy -cert cert.crt -key cert.key -ca ca.crt -cakey ca.key
You can also specify the listen port (defaults to 9999):
compy -host :9999
