Tool to simulate proxy behavior on dev machine

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I'm interested in using a tool/app which simulates proxy behavior on my local development machine where I'm hosting a website. I'm using Windows (Server 2k3).

I believe that if there is a proxy server between a host server and a client, all of this information is available as part of the Server Variables on the HttpRequest. I want to find the IP address of the actual client that makes the call. On our dev server, what happens is we can't really test this behavior. Hence, I want a tool that can simulate this proxy behavior for dev testing purposes.

Is there such a free tool that I can use so that I can test proxy behavior?

Unfortunately, not Fiddler.

I am now updating my original description for additional clarity.

Thanks.
