How can I make a VERY simple web proxy using ASP.NET?

I'm about to launch a site that was working well until I found the following hiccup:

I can't request a Yahoo! Pipe over SSL.

So the pages that require SSL are now missing a piece of their functionality unless I figure out a way around this; obviously, this could be done if I use an SSL-hosted page on my app to request the Yahoo! pipe for me.

I've seen solutions like http://www.iisproxy.net/license.html, but it seems to be a bit heavy for what I'm trying to do.

Can't I do this with a simple ASHX handler? Or is it more complex than that?

Thank you,

Michael

  • I guess if all you want to do is read the contents of a request you could use a WebRequest & WebResponse

    here are some details on using that
