Simple HTTP Proxy Server C# Source Code

This time my next step for building the M-NIC Projects, creating a HTTP Proxy Server which is actually just an HTTP Relay :D. The concept just take everything from applications which HTTP Proxy server is set to my application then relaying the request to the destination server then relay again the response from destination server to client application.

The method? Just ordinary Socket Programming in C# (System.Net) Socket.Send(), Socket.Receive(), etc. First let's take a look to the Server Listener, every server must listen to the incoming client connection. In this application, i'm using TcpListener for that.

using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;

namespace SimpleHttpProxy
{
    class ServerListerner
    {
        private int listenPort;
        private TcpListener listener;

        public ServerListerner(int port)
        {
            this.listenPort = port;
            this.listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, this.listenPort);
        }

        public void StartServer()
        {
            this.listener.Start();
        }

        public void AcceptConnection()
        {
            Socket newClient = this.listener.AcceptSocket();
            ClientConnection client = new ClientConnection(newClient);
            client.StartHandling();
        }

    }
}

How it works? See the main method implementation below. Just initiate server listener object which is listen to port 9000 (this port number is up to you, but make sure you're choosing free port number), then start the server to make the server ready to accept incoming connection and do the magic loop (actually just an infinite looping) to accept the incoming connection.
