ASSIGNMENT 2:
Implement a TCP Proxy Server using socket.
A TCP proxy server (say, tcpproxy) is a server that acts as an intermediary

between a client and another server, called the destination server. Clients
establish connections to the TCP proxy server, which then establishes a
connection to the destination server. The proxy server sends data received from
the client to the destination server and forwards data received from the
destination server to the client. Interestingly, the TCP proxy server is actually
both a server and a client. It is a server to its client and a client to its destination
server.
The proxy server will be invoked at the command line as follows:
$ tcpproxy destination-host destination-port listen-port
Version1 : The proxy server will accept a single connection from a client and
forward it using a single connection to the server. During the connection, the
proxy will not accept any other connections.
Version 2: The proxy server will accept connections from multiple clients and
forward them using multiple connections to the server. The proxy should
forward data in both directions: from client to server and from server to client.
No client or server should be able to hang the proxy server by refusing to read
or write data on its connection. For instance, if one client suddenly stops
reading from the socket to the proxy, other clients should not notice
interruptions of service through the proxy.
Example
Here is an example of how to use tcpproxy to redirect all connections to port
4000 on your local machine to google's web server.
$ tcpproxy www.google.com 80 4000
