CFFI Go Proxy

Based on https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy which was vendored in to replace the net/http dependency to github.com/bogdanfinn/fhttp, making the requests with github.com/bogdanfinn/tls-client

Running the code

go run main.go

Running the benchmark

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

python benchmark/test.py

Looking at the results, we validate that the proxy was able to add the x-returned-by header to the response. We can also validate that the proxy was able to intercept the request, and add the X-Hello-World header before sending it to HTTPBIN

Currently the benchmark only works for verify=False, however the proxy service could be configured to trust a certain CA certificate. If the client also trusts that CA certificate, verify=False is no longer needed.
