nginx as an open proxy

[Riku Räisänen]

rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://$1;

I think you might also want to parse the contents and replace the  
links, ie.

	http://hotmail.com/login
	to
	http://proxy.yourdomain.com/hotmail.com/logi

to make sure that hardcoded links don't break the proxying.

Someone else can continue from here, I've never done proxying like  
that. What happens to domain specific cookies etc?
