squid as an http proxy

This repo serves as an example about how to set up squid in development to test applications against it.

Example

To start the docker container that listens on port 3128. All requests are logged to stdout. So you can use your regular tools to show them.

$ docker run -d -p 3128:3128 --name squid livingdocs/squid
$ curl -x http://localhost:3128 -i https://api.ipify.org?format=json

$ docker logs squid
2019/03/07 10:40:38| ... some squid startup logs
2019/03/07 10:40:43|    178 172.17.0.1 TCP_TUNNEL/200 4262 CONNECT google.com:443 - HIER_DIRECT/google.com -

To run your application against squid

HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:3128 HTTPS_PROXY=http://localhost:3128 yourscript

With curl

curl -x http://localhost:3128 -i https://api.ipify.org?format=json
