One of my earliest posts (back when I was using blogger.com), was regarding a reverse logging proxy — a simple Python script to transparently log requests between a client and a server. Very useful for debugging web service calls, to see what exactly what is being sent back and forth.
I’ve just added logproxy.py to my projects page, after updating it to handle virtual hosts (in other words, when using Apache to serve more than one domain).
This is not quite as impressive a change as it might sound. It basically means correctly setting the Host HTTP header, rather than defaulting to localhost…
Anyway, a few people appear to have found it useful, judging from my access logs, so this update might help someone else (it certainly helped me figure out why my wsgi app was failing to properly handle multipart form content).
