Wow, thank you - was just wrestling with this for over an hour with another proxy and this worked first try. Appreciate this!

How to use this ? its only return json ..........

@arunkumartdr

domain.com/this.php?url=target_url will return a json containing http status code & response.
Open that json to see the actual response.

Hi! What is this licensed under? I would love to use this for a project (R.I.P. Google Podcasts) as long as it's licensed under a somewhat permissive license such as MIT (I saw a proxy like this, but it was under GPL).
