A simple HTTP proxy server that logs all client/server communications,
with some added features to parse the content such as automatic
gunzipping, output colorization and known data “pretty” formatting,
including XML, JSON, and YAML.

TL;DR
Install:
$ pip install proxylog
Proxy http://www.example.com/ locally to http://localhost:8080/, log
all transactions to a file and display them colorized and formatted
on the console:
$ proxylog -r www.example.com:80 -p 8080 -o transactions.log -dcf
Display a previous log file colorized and formatted:
$ proxylog -i transactions.log -dcf


Colorizing
The colorizing is done via the Pygments package; proxylog’s
--theme option is passed through to pygments, so any of the color
themes that pygments supports can be used. Use the following command
to list the available themes:
$ pygmentize -L styles


Formatting
“Formatting” refers to proxylog’s ability to re-format known data
formats to a more human-friendly display, which when combined with
colorization, can yield very readable data. HOWEVER, this does
alter the actual data, so if you are using the data in any way,
you should not use the “–format” flag.
Currently, the following formats are supported, with examples of how
they are “prettified”:

XML:
Input:
<root ><node attr= "value">data</node>
</root>
Formatted output:
<root>
<node attr="value">data</node>
</root>

JSON:
Input:
{"key": "value", "list": [3, "bar", null, "foo"]}
Formatted output:
{
"key": "value",
"list": [
3,
"bar",
null,
"foo"
]
}

YAML:
Input:
{key: value, list: [3, bar, null, foo]}
Formatted output:
{
"key": "value",
"list": [
3,
"bar",
null,
"foo"
]
}
