Working together on a generic Proxy, was: Netty 3.2.0.BETA1 released: zero-copy file transfer

Happy to team up from my end. The LittleProxy code is all licensed
under Apache 2 and is described at:

http://dev.littleshoot.org:8084/display/proxy/LittleShoot+Java+HTTP+Proxy+-+LittleProxy

I'm about to release the 0.3 version with much better performance,
decompression and filtering of responses if desired, and better
documentation. All the latest development is happening on trunk, and
you should be able to run it really easily using the run.bash script.

LittleProxy is very much focused on HTTP, but I'd certainly be open to
supporting more protocols.

All the Best,

-Adam
