introduction

---

what is it used for?

it serves a local server, which proxies requests from one domain to another.

this would allow a developer to work locally, and be able to route all requests to somedomain.com to a server of their choice, eliminating the need to modify the /etc/hosts file, or configuring local domain name servers.

how does it work?

run the proxy server and navigate to the url http://localhost:3128/pacman.pac file will best illustrate how the javascript-like syntax will work:

$ pacman
$ open 'http://localhost:3128/pacman.pac'

use cases?

• useful for developing and testing domains and sub-domains on a local machine.
• debug cross domain cookies
• debug iframe message passing
