*NOTE: this is very WIP* 

HTTP(S) proxy with integrated load-balancing, rate-limiting
and error handling. Built for automated web scraping.

* Strictly obeys configured rate-limiting for each IP & Host
* Seamless exponential backoff retries on timeout or error HTTP codes
* Requires no additional configuration for integration into existing programs
