HTTPManifold 0.9 Beta

Java based application for funnelling Web/HTTP traffic for multiple servers through a single IP address.
HTTPManifold takes incoming HTTP connections and forwards them to other servers (reverse proxy).

HTTPManifold is intended for home users and small businesses so that they can host multiple domains and sub-domains through a single IP address on port 80.

HTTPManifold forwards traffic to other machines, logs requests, and rewrites content during the process. It can also log the raw content of requests for the purpose of debugging web services, etc.

A single IP address can handle multiple domains, and route requests to other networked machines. It allows for monitoring and debugging raw HTTP traffic.

Similar to virtual hosting, HTTP reverse proxying will allow the web traffic for multiple servers to pass through a single IP address of one's choice. Home users and businesses alike can easily host multiple domains and sub-domains running on various internal services.

HTTPManifold also allows HTTP traffic to be manipulated and logged for development purposes. Similar web debugging tools require browser integration and are not suited for testing application web services.

HTTPManifold can even bridge and log connections to secure sites.
