proxy.py v0.4

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --hostname HOSTNAME   Default: 127.0.0.1. Server IP address.
  --port PORT           Default: 8899. Server port.
  --backlog BACKLOG     Default: 100. Maximum number of pending connections to
                        proxy server
  --basic-auth BASIC_AUTH
                        Default: No authentication. Specify colon separated
                        user:password to enable basic authentication.
  --server-recvbuf-size SERVER_RECVBUF_SIZE
                        Default: 8 KB. Maximum amount of data received from
                        the server in a single recv() operation. Bump this
                        value for faster downloads at the expense of increased
                        RAM.
  --client-recvbuf-size CLIENT_RECVBUF_SIZE
                        Default: 8 KB. Maximum amount of data received from
                        the client in a single recv() operation. Bump this
                        value for faster uploads at the expense of increased
                        RAM.
  --open-file-limit OPEN_FILE_LIMIT
                        Default: 1024. Maximum number of files (TCP
                        connections) that proxy.py can open concurrently.
  --log-level LOG_LEVEL
                        Valid options: DEBUG, INFO (default), WARNING, ERROR,
                        CRITICAL. Both upper and lowercase values are
                        allowed.You may also simply use the leading character
                        e.g. --log-level d
  --pac-file PAC_FILE   A file (Proxy Auto Configuration) or string to serve
                        when the server receives a direct file request.
  --ipv4 IPV4           Whether to listen on IPv4 address. By default server
