Quick tiny python web proxy

Python just keeps amazing me, the following code is all you need to have a proxy up and running in like 10 seconds

from flask import Flask
from flask import request

import requests

app = Flask(__name__)


hosttorequest = 'www.cnn.com'

@app.route('/')
def root():
    r = requests.get('http://'+hosttorequest+'/')
    return r.content

@app.route('/<path:other>')
def other(other):
    r = requests.get('http://'+hosttorequest+'/'+other)
    return r.content
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80)

Now this sure makes it easy to start hiding some stuff in there. To get it up and running just do: sudo python filename.py
