Web Proxy libraries are a way to access the contents of a website without actually accessing the website itself. The web proxy acts as an intermediary between your computer and the website, fetching the content for you and displaying it on your screen. Caddy is a simple and lightweight proxy server for the browser. Betwixt is a high-performance proxy server that supports both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It is written in JavaScript and provides a secure connection between your application and the client. Mockserver is a mock web server for testing HTTP requests in unit tests with Node.js and other evented I/O based servers such as Twisted and Gevent. Some of the most widely used open-source Web Proxy libraries among developers include
