Recorder: evaluate hand off to littleproxy

[ceeaspb]

To get proxying working transarently for users there's a fair amount of work ( #1915, and complexity on top of the existing recorder proxy code.

@slandelle suggests evaluating littleproxy which sounds like a good idea. All this complexity can be externalised into a dedicated project where it will be better tested and improved.

initial review looks like littleproxy is at a similar place to the gatling proxy in terms of certificate impersonation ( adamfisk/LittleProxy#85 ).

looks like this would be a good task for 2.1

@slandelle WDYT?

[slandelle]

+1 for everything

Hoping they'll be able to implement certificate impersonation.

[slandelle]

Is this still a interesting option?
It looks to me that we're on our way to have a proper proxy with good certificate impersonation.

@slandelle this is marked for 2.1 and therefore some way off I assume? Nothing has changed for me in the last couple of weeks so it still sounds like a good idea to review whether we can externalise the proxy logic.

For me the priority currently is to get the refactoring branch merged, and/or get feedback on what needs to change to facilitate that , as.... once that is done there are a number of other enhancements that I would like to do. I can't do those enhancements against the current code.

I don't think LittleProxy will make any progress on this.
