Dear Twisted/Tor developers,
I am motivated by language security concerns. I think Twisted Python can often implement excellent replacements for our old crufty C implementations. In this case I'd like to stop using C programs running as root (or not root) to torify http connections... like privoxy, polipo, apt tor transport etc.
Last year I wrote this little tor http proxy; yes it also handles RFC 2817 proxy CONNECT method as well: https://github.com/david415/txtorhttpproxy
I wrote an AgentProxy that can proxy any sort of twisted http agent: https://github.com/david415/txtorhttpproxy/blob/master/txtorhttpproxy/proxy....
It used to use more terrible underscore imports but Leif fixed the bit-rot and made it work with Twisted 15: https://github.com/david415/txtorhttpproxy/commit/38f1a0cfab586f7a8965a47e9c...
Is this project worthy of your precious 10 minutes to review it... so I can improve the code quality?
If I get rid of this last terrible import: from twisted.web._newclient import ResponseDone
then I'm not sure how to detect when to call the finish() method here: https://github.com/david415/txtorhttpproxy/blob/master/txtorhttpproxy/proxy....
Sincerely, David Stainton
