I've written a HTTP Proxy for Mac. nothing special so far, but it's intented to be used for debugging &&/|| development. It features a quite flexibel filter/modifier architecture, a working gui and a non-existant memory footprint. Since I just didn't have the dedication to finish the project but still think there's a market for that, I'd gladly sell it for a fair price. If anyone is interested in just seeing the app (which is unstable), just let me know.

Do you know about http://www.charlesproxy.com/ and if so, have you done anything particularly differently?

Yes. Charles is a perfectly valid go-to solution for all problems solved by proxy, too. But Proxy aims to be more user friendly – Charles GUI is a bit messy and outdated.

The core of Proxy are it's filters and modifiers. Filters give you the ability to select specific requests/response pairs from the list of all of them, and modifiers make it possible to change the behavior and data a request/response pair carries. Modifiers are implemented in only a few lines and the idea was that they could be done in almost any language (read: ruby and other lightweight stuff), so the low-memory footprint along with simple, extensible filters would make a powerful developer tool – or the most configurable ad blocker that there is.

I'm interested. What is the best way to get in touch?
