[Privoxy-devel] HTTPS filtering in Privoxy

[vasek.svec at email.cz]

Hello,

I'm student of third year at Czech technical university in Prague and I'm 
choosing topic for my bachelor thesis. My teacher has offered to me this 
topic:
Study the current state of proxy servers with respect to the HTTPS protocol.
Analyze the available implementations and specify approaches to filtering 
HTTPS communication; focus at the security issues related to these 
approaches. Implement a module for Privoxy (www.privoxy.org) which will add 
the support for filtering of the HTTPS communication between a browser and a
server.




I'd like to ask you about your opinion on this topic. I'm not really great C
programmer, but I'm not C beginner and I have some small experiences with 
OpenSSL library. I find this topic very interesting, but I'm little bit 
scared of the programming part. Could you please say me, how difficult would
be this implementation. And could I ask you for advice when I encountered 
some problem during implementation?




Thank you for answer
