Minimal, Web proxy written in Go. Can be self-hosted on Heroku, Red Hat OpenShift or any VPS / Cloud provider. more details here http://madhurjain.github.io/gopee

Great start. Your two known deficiencies are pretty big right now:

* Doesn't support anything which requires sessions / cookies / logging in, yet

* Most AJAX requests don't work since the URLs are not rewritten

Don't stop working on it! This is a pretty great project.

@deftnerd Thanks for the appreciation!

I understand the deficiencies are major ones, but I am gonna continue working on it.

Other issues:

* It's leaking a lot of information (Google Analytics and a few other domains are being connected to directly instead of going through proxy). This is probably the biggest thing to fix. Offering a "strip all scripts" option may help.

* Useragent is set to Go's default. Forwarding the user's user-agent or better yet, a stock browser useragent (Firefox or something) may be better
