Folding@home web proxy

When Folding@home operates, its web client is also available at http://127.0.0.1:7396. This client makes API calls to server on intervals to update client status and ongoing work progress then receive status data and display to user.

This proxy is a wrapper on the web client to watch for its API calls and capture response data to use it for your own purposes.
