naiveproxy as a library

[ghost]

I am thinking about the feasibility to use naiveproxy as a HTTP or TCP library instead of a standalone proxy program.
Traditional proxy tools like v2ray implement their own protocol with websocket and they can benefit from naiveproxy by replacing their websocket implementation.

Library, yes. Integrate with whom? With what interface?

How about something that mimics the WebSocket API in JavaScript

WebSocket is better supported by CDNs and load-balancing systems, compared to HTTP proxy protocol.

Also, with CDN you can distribute your traffic into many IPs, which makes them look like normal browsing behavior. I think it's a very appealing feature, since the header and traffic shaped by naiveproxy is very Chrome already.

Websocket and CDN fronting are two approaches that this project is designed against.

If someone is prepared to integrate such a library into certain apps I can help him, otherwise I'm not very motivated to work on this in a vacuum.

There is no actual commitment in the community to working on a library split from naive proxy.
