Task-oriented http proxy

taskmaster

A task-oriented http proxy.

Requires Ruby and probably some other stuff.

Just run "ruby taskmaster.rb" and a web server will start on port 8000, as well as an HTTP proxy on port 8080. Set your browser to have an HTTP proxy of localhost:8080 (but leave HTTPS alone -- the proxy doesn't support it). Browse to localhost:8000 for the user interface.

By default, you can't visit any web pages. When you need to use the web, you go to the Taskmaster interface and type a description for the task you intend to perform and the domain of the site you're going to use. A task will be added to the list and as long as it's in the list, you can browse to the domain you specified. When you're done with the task, remove it from the list by clicking the X.

The goal of this is to prevent me from wasting time on the web by forcing myself to specify exactly what I'm going to do before using my browser.
