Basic steps (Using sockets / threads):
1) received 'CONNECT host:port HTTP/1.1
2) Open socket to host:port
3) If successful send back a 'HTTP/1.1 Connection Established\n\n" response
4) connect streams of client / and terminal host:port (pass bytes freely between client / server)
Todo:
- Using SocketChannels / Selectors for non-blocking I/O
- Testing
- Performance
- Unit-testing
