HTTP traffic over a custom proxy server?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I would like to setup a server "myserver" that acts as a proxy for its clients. The clients pass the url of the web page they want in a query string:

- client sends a HTTP request:
  http://myserver?url=www.foreignurl.com&par2=val1

- Servlet on myserver extracts url from query string:
  www.foreignurl.com

- Servlet sends HTTP request to other server with query string:
  http://www.foreignurl.com?par1=val1

- Servlet renders complete response from other server
  into a String "content"

- Servlet changes every link in the content to point to myserver
  so that all links are accessed the same way

- Servlet sends response to client

The most important part would be to change all links in the response.
Can you give me some hints how to do this?

Thanks
Magnus
