Flask Proxy Server

A simple Flask web application that acts as a proxy server, allowing you to retrieve and display content from other websites.

Features

• Proxies both GET and POST requests.
• Adds a base URL to content for static assets.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python installed
• Flask installed (pip install Flask)
• Requests installed (pip install requests)

Running the Application

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/flask-proxy-server.git
   cd flask-proxy-server

2. Run the Flask application:

   python app.py

   The application will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:5000.

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000/proxy?url=http://example.com to test the proxy functionality.

Usage

• Send a GET request to /proxy with the url parameter to retrieve content from the specified URL. Example: http://127.0.0.1:5000/proxy?url=http://example.com

• Send a POST request to /proxy with the url parameter in the form data to retrieve content from the specified URL. Example using curl:

  curl -X POST -d "url=http://example.com" http://127.0.0.1:5000/proxy
