Here's the source. I've added javadocs and made it easier to write
custom filters.
The proxy only blocks or modifies content, it never caches content.
A simple build script is included as I'm not familiar with maven/ant
(I'm using IDEA). The source is straightforward to compile, but all
*.js files from the src directory should be added to the jar. It's
written using Grizzly 1.7.3.3.
I didn't know how to use Grizzly as an HTTP client, so for the time
being HttpUrlConnection is used. Have you any example code of client
usage?
