    1. This is a proxy server. Execute the code in a terminal with a specified port. (For eg. for listening to port 10000, run the command ./object_name 10000)
      After this, go to your browser settings and there is option in your browser to set the proxy settings. Give the same port no and the server in which proxy is running.

  4. What does this proxy server do exactly? I ran it does it just filter out images? That's what I'm getting from this so far.

    1. It won't filter out any images. If you run it in a server/pc it'll act as an intermediary for requests from clients. Webpage will be displayed as it is.

    1. This is program for a proxy server, You can execute program with a port number, so that proxy server will listen to that port number for requests,
      After this, go to your browser settings and there is option in your browser to set the proxy settings. Give the same port no and the server in which proxy is running.
      Then when you make requests in browser for requests, the proxy server will process it.

    2. Godly, let's say I compiled it as "test", and run it "./test 10000"... I should change my proxy settings to port no. 10000, right? but what about for the "HTTP Proxy:"? what should I put there? should i put "test"? I'm using mozilla firefox. Thank you very much for your reply.
