Dynamic Proxies Server

Question

Hi How we can create dynamic proxy server using c# code Thanks

Prasad Raveendran · Answer

Creating a dynamic proxy server in C# typically involves using the HttpListener class in combination with asynchronous programming features. Below is a simple example of how you can create a basic dynamic proxy server in C#. using System; using System.IO; using System.Net; using System.Threading.Tasks; class ProxyServer { static async Task Main(string[] args) { string proxyUrl = "http://localhost:8080/"; Console.WriteLine($"Proxy server listening on {proxyUrl}"); var listener = new HttpListener(); listener.Prefixes.Add(proxyUrl); listener.Start(); while (true) { var context = await listener.GetContextAsync(); Task.Run(() => HandleRequestAsync(context)); } } static async Task HandleRequestAsync(HttpListenerContext context) { try { var targetUrl = "http://example.com" + context.Request.RawUrl; var targetRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(targetUrl); targetRequest.Method = context.Request.HttpMethod; using (var targetResponse = await targetRequest.GetResponseAsync() as HttpWebResponse) { context.Response.ContentType = targetResponse.ContentType; using (var targetStream = targetResponse.GetResponseStream()) { await targetStream.CopyToAsync(context.Response.OutputStream); } } } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine($"Error handling request: {ex.Message}"); context.Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError; } finally { context.Response.Close(); } } } This simple example creates an HTTP proxy server using HttpListener . It listens on a specified URL (e.g., http://localhost:8080/) and forwards incoming requests to a target URL (e.g., http://example.com). Note that this is a basic example, and you may need to enhance it depending on your specific requirements. Keep in mind that using HttpListener requires administrative privileges, and this example does not handle SSL connections (HTTPS). If you need to support HTTPS, you may need to consider additional libraries or frameworks, such as HttpListener with a reverse proxy like Nginx or Apache, or use dedicated libraries like Titanium.Web.Proxy .
