I've set up your code as a proxy server.
In my client code I use Watir and phantomJS point to the VCR proxy.
If I comment out "use_cassette", everything works (my page is loading and the JS calls are running), but of course nothing is recording in VCR.
As soon as I use VCR in the proxy, it seems something is blocked or just broken.
The function "routine" is called, but do_CONNECT is never called.
I'm not sure how to debug/log effectively to find out what's happening.
Did anyone run into these problems?
Can anyone tell me how I can debug effectively what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

I was able to get the vcr_proxy.rb server up and running and I've obtained the recordings I wish to playback. I want to use these recordings test a single page javascript application, but how do I use the proxy server as an endpoint for my JS if requests need to be proxied in order to match my recordings?

I want to avoid creating an additional server that my JS will call just so I can make the proxy request to the vcr_proxy. I also want to avoid setting my browser to the proxy as the proxy server will not be serving the assets, only my json responses.

For every HTTPS request, a new MITM server is started. This is because the certificate needs to set the host (see vcr_proxy.rb:32) for every request, because they could be different. And because of that, for every request a free port is needed.

How could this be improved? First it's slow, and second when more and more requests are made, the port numbers could run out.

At the current version, the name of the cassette is fixed. Any clever idea, how to make the cassettes configurable?

For example: If I have a lot of ajax requests going to a lot of different endpoints, everything get's recorded into the same name.

I am using capybara-webkit to build a website crawler. To test my crawler I was hoping to use vcr_proxy. However, I can not read previously set cookies via capybara when I visit a site being read from a vcr_proxy created cassette.

Is there a way to enable this? I am new to ruby...and development. However, happy to help make this happen in any way that I can.

When a lot of requests are made, VCR complains that there is already a cassette in use, and the cassettes could not be nested. By now, VCR.use_cassette is called in the service method. Any ideas how to improve this?

How could the integration into other frameworks be handled? Like modules for RSpec...
