I'm using this file to guide myself while working on nmap's code.
The words below might not make a lot of sense, since they are a collection of tasks, todos, notes, logs, ideas...
If something you are interested in does not make good sense, don't worry about asking it directly to me on joao<at>livewire<dot>com<dot>br

*** OPEN PROXY SCRIPTS ***

- Modularization implemented
- Needs a fine tuning and hard testing

-- How to modify the libraries to best support it?
-- Use local function to route http requests through -> HTTP lib will change, it will avoid huge changes in future
