+= HTTP Basics : Proxy
+ 
+== HTTP Proxy Setup
+
+HTTP Proxies are tools that allow an attacker, developer or researcher to act as a man-in-the-middle on requests and responses. Since this is an
+OWASP project, we'll be using ZAP. If you are comfortable using another proxy (e.g. Burp), you can skip this. Otherwise,
+this will show you how to set up ZAP to act as a proxy on your localhost.
+
+=== Setting up ZAP
+
+Once you have 'installed' ZAP (you don't really install it, just unpack it and run it locally), we will need to:
+
+* Start ZAP
+* Configure the local proxy port
+* Point the browser at the proxy
+
+=== Start ZAP
+When ZAP starts, you will be presented with a dialog such as the one below ...
+
+image::plugin_lessons/plugin/HttpBasics/images/zap-start.png[ZAP Start,548,256,style="lesson-image"]
+
+=== Configure Proxy's Port
+
+. Select Tools > Options from the menu
+. Select Local Proxy on the left
+. Choose an available port ... Since WebGoat is using port 8080, use something different like 8090
+. Click OK

+== HTTP Proxy Setup: The Browser
+
+=== Point Browser at Proxy
+
+There are many plugins to manage this, but this will show you how to do this manually in Firefox and Chrome.
+This will send all of your traffic to the proxy. Since we haven't set up a trusted cert. yet, that may cause issues with any https requests. More on that in a bit though. Let's stick to basics for now:
+
+==== Firefox Proxy Config
+
+. Go to your Firefox Preferences (Mac, Linux) or Options (Windows) from the menu.
+. Select _Advanced_ on the left
+. Select _Network_ in the in Advanced Pane
+. Click _Settings_
+. Select _Manual proxy configuration_
+.. input *127.0.0.1* as the Proxy
+.. input *8090* as the port
+.. check the _Use this proxy server for all protocols_ checkbox
+
+image::plugin_lessons/plugin/HttpBasics/images/firefox-proxy-config.png[Firefox Proxy Config,510,634,style="lesson-image"]
+
+==== Chrome Proxy Config
+
+. Bring up Chrome's settings form the menu
+. In the _Search settings_ box type in *proxy* and hit Enter/Return. This should bring up the Network heading with a _Change proxy settings_ button.
+. Click the _Change proxy settings_ button
+. Select the _proxies_ tab
+. Select Web Proxy (HTTP)
+. Input 127..0.0.1 in the first box under _Web Proxy Server_ and your port # (8090 is what used earlier) in the second box (to the right)
+. You may also want to clear the _Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains_ text input at the bottom, but shouldn't need to
