> Hello,

> I'm taking a class in which we're supposed to be implementing a pseudo-proxy
> server that does some text parsing on web pages before passing them back to
> the client.  The proxy is supposed to be accessed via the URL and port that
> the server is running on, using an .rpy file.

> I've looked through all of the available Twisted documentation, but just

> questions - what code should go in which files?  How do I run it?  How do I
> test it?  There are a lot of code examples available, but very little
> information on how they interact and call each other.  It doesn't help that I
> am not too familiar with the OO-style API documentation.

> instance of the HTTPClient subclass and use it to retrieve the requested URL
> (we have to get it line by line), but I don't understand how to create the
> instance.

> I hope someone has the time and know-how to help me out.
