HttpProxyServlet – how hard can it get?

I spent a good time browsing the net for such a simple thing as a simple httpproxy built with [tag]JAVA[/tag] 1.3 that runs as a servlet (yeah, guess what servlet engine I’m aiming) and it seems impossible to find one. I need:

  • JAVA 1.3
  • Not too many additional .jar files
  • Support for all args in a GET
  • …and all in a POST
  • NO need for SSL
  • NO need for cookie support
      I can, with some reference libraries, build it myself, but why do I always have to invent the very same wheel for the thousand time?
      If anyone of my 2 readers, mom uncounted, can direct me to some [tag]development[/tag] sources I would be grateful

Did you have a look at the Jakarta commons http client? Could work for you.

Hi Stephan!
No, I never started investigate what options there was to build this servlet myself. This library seams like a great start, thanks for pointing it out for me!
