title: Is it possible to use Google Chrome as a proxy server?
body: <p>In my particular network environment the Google chrome executable can access via an authenticated outgoing proxy server external web sites. Other executables however (when pointing to that outgoing proxy) are not able to do so.</p>
  
  <p>I now have the idea to use Chrome itself as a local proxy for other executables like <code>git</code> or <code>pip</code>. - Is this possible, say, with a Chrome extension or with a tool that uses Chrome in a headless mode to connect to the Internet?</p>
  
  <p>To clarify, I am not asking how to configure the proxy settings inside Chrome - I have successfully done this. I am asking how I can set up Chrome to receive HTTP(S) requests from other local programs and pass the requests on <strong>as an intermediate proxy</strong> (to the outgoing proxy specified in Chrome's settings).</p>
