## What it is
GoProxy is a Go library for building customized HTTP/HTTPS proxy servers as a net/http handler. It supports regular proxying, CONNECT tunneling, MITM interception with generated TLS certificates, and programmatic request/response manipulation.

## Use cases
- build a custom HTTP proxy server in Go
- intercept and modify HTTPS traffic with MITM
- rewrite requests and responses for specific hosts
- inspect TLS traffic for testing or debugging
- route proxy traffic through a custom http.Transport
- set up a local proxy for browser testing

## When to choose
- you need a programmable HTTP/HTTPS proxy embedded in a Go application
- you want to intercept or modify traffic with MITM and custom CA certificates
- you need proxy behavior conditioned on specific hosts or regex patterns
- you want a proxy that integrates with net/http middleware

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade forward proxy with caching and access control out of the box
- you want a SOCKS proxy rather than HTTP/HTTPS proxying
- you need a non-Go solution or a standalone proxy binary without writing code

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: http-server, proxy, middleware, networking
- domain: networking, web-development, developer-tools, security
