Netty HttpProxyHandler example

I am studying Netty. I'd like to implement a proxy that traces some http access for the company, as part of the data leak prevention program.

Netty seems to be a good candidate for this.

I am trying to build an http proxy, having the ability to modify requests and responses in some specific cases.

I had a look at little poxy but find the documentation not rich enough to feel comfortable at implementing a solution with it.

So I am focusing on Netty.

I have found a reference to a class named HttpProxyHandler but cannot find any example, or any documentation describing what this class and how it should be used.

Am I going to the right direction?

Thanks and regards

Gilles

It looks like HttpProxyHandler is meant for connecting to an external proxy, not for implementing your own.

If you want to learn more about Netty then I suggest looking at HexDumpProxy example
