💖 proxytrack — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about proxytrack, a lil' tool from the httrack website copier family. it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your terminal and it is so much less scary than it sounds. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

proxytrack — a proxy that serves up content you already archived with the httrack website copier. periodt. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

proxytrack proxy_address:proxy_port icp_address:icp_port [ httrack_cache_filename_1 [ httrack_cache_filename_2 .. ] ]

yes the last part is optional and yes you can stack a whole lil' squad of cache filenames in there. it's giving flexible. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: proxytrack is this program that lets you create a proxy whose whole job is to deliver content that has already been archived by httrack(1) — aka the website copier. no cap, that's the entire plot. it's not out here fetching the live web, it's serving what you already grabbed. iconic behavior fr fr. ✨

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

look at this absolute serve:

proxytrack proxy:8080 localhost:3130 /home/archives/example.com/hts-cache/new.zip

this one will launch the proxytrack proxy, listening on :8080, so it can deliver the content archived inside that /home/archives/example.com/hts-cache/new.zip cache. chef's kiss. 🫶

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

bestie… this section is literally empty. there are no environment variables listed here. nothing to memorize, nothing to set. we love a low-maintenance section. 😌 (fr fr, there is nothing to add — don't go looking for hidden vars, there aren't any listed.)

⭐ DIAGNOSTICS ⭐

when things go sideways, Errors and Warnings get reported to the console and to standard error. so like, keep an eye on your terminal, she will tell you what's wrong. 🔍

💀 BUGS 💀

found a bug? first of all, rude of the bug, and second: please report it to bugs@httrack.com. 💌

when you do, include a complete, self-contained example that lets the bug actually be reproduced (so the devs can make it happen on their machine too — no "works on my machine" energy 🙈), and say which version of (web)httrack you're using. also do not forget to detail:

  • the options you used
  • your OS version
  • any other information you deem necessary

the more deets, the faster the fix. iykyk. 🎀
