Proxy Caching

⚡ Proxy Caching

Proxy Caching is a lightweight command-line tool that acts as a caching proxy server. It intercepts and forwards requests to an origin server, while caching the responses locally to improve performance and reduce redundant network calls.

🔧 Features

• Start a Proxy Server on a Specified Port
  Launch your proxy with a simple CLI command and set the port of your choice.

• Request Forwarding
  Automatically forwards incoming client requests to the specified origin server.

• Response Caching
  Caches the responses from the origin server to speed up future requests.

• Local Cache Storage
  Cached responses are stored locally on disk for persistence across sessions.

• Clearable Cache
  Easily clear the cache when needed, either manually or via command.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Python – This entire tool is built in pure Python, keeping it simple, portable, and easy to customize.

🚀 Why Use Proxy Caching?

If you're a developer or tester working with APIs or web services, Proxy Caching helps reduce response times and load on origin servers. It's perfect for local development environments, offline testing scenarios, or just speeding up repetitive requests during debugging.

📌 Example Use Cases

• Speed up repetitive API testing by avoiding repeated remote calls
• Cache large responses for offline inspection
• Act as a buffer layer between clients and an unstable or slow origin server
