ars-proxy [WIP]

Fast, minimal, asynchronous HTTP/HTTPS proxy server written in Rust

# Usage:
ars-proxy <local_port> <remote_url> <remote_port> [--cert <crt_path> --pass-file <pass_file_path>] [--to-https]

Notes:

• If --to-https parameter is specified (useful only in HTTP mode), the server will proxy all the received http requests to HTTPS.

• If a TLS certificate path is specified (by --cert parameter), the server will listen on HTTPS only.

  • The only certificate format supported is .pfx/.p12, it is possible to create a .pfx certificate from .crt and .key files using openssl:

    openssl pkcs12 -export -out cert.pfx -inkey cert.key -in cert.crt

  • The password file (whose path can be specified by --pass-file parameter) is supposed to be a file containing only the certificate password (setting file permissions to 600 is recommended). This avoids specifying the certificate password in command line, that can be a security problem.
  • If argument --pass-file is not specified, the certificate password is assumed to be blank ("").
