-Nodejs-proxy is a simple HTTP proxy server written in node.js. It currently
-just proxies all the requests on port 8080.
-
-Nodejs-proxy was written by Peteris Krumins (peter@catonmat.net).
-His blog is at http://www.catonmat.net  --  good coders code, great reuse.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You'll need node.js to run it. Get it at www.nodejs.org, then compile and
-install it:
-
-    $ ./configure
-    $ make
-    $ make install
-
-Next, run proxy.js through node program:
-
-    $ node proxy.js
-
-And that's it!
-
-I have also added ip-based access control and by default the proxy will
-deny all IPs. To add a new ip, just echo it to 'allow_ip_list' file:
-
-    $ echo '1.2.3.4' >> config/allow_ip_list
-
-And you don't need to restart the server, it will see the changes and update
-itself.
-
-You can also block hosts based on a regex pattern, to do that, echo the hosts
-you don't wish the proxy to serve to 'black_list' file:
-
-    $ echo 'facebook.com' >> config/black_list
