This site presents a list of open source HTTP proxies written in java and python, with comparison tables, so that you compare the proxies on a feature by feature basis. Further detail is available on each proxy: click it's name for more info.
A HTTP proxy is a piece of software that acts as an intermediary between HTTP client software (i.e. browser) and HTTP server software. The proxy receives all requests from the browser, and relays them (possibly modified) onto the server. Likewise, it receives all responses from the server, and relays them (possibly modified) to the client. HTTP Proxies can be used for a wide variety of tasks, including filtering, logging, caching, etc, etc, etc. At some stage, most web programmers will make use of some form of proxy.
