Here's a simple one in 3 lines of perl.  It only supports HTTP GET, and 
it ignores all of the MIME headers on the original request.  It requires the 
LWP perl module, but the RSA code requires dc, so I guess it's fair :)

#!/usr/bin/perl5 --# HTTP proxy, GET/http only;  usage: 'lwp-proxy <port>'
use LWP::Simple;sub w{wait;}$SIG{'CHLD'}='w';$SIG{'CLD'}='w';socket(S,2,1,6);
bind(S,pack(Sna4x8,2,$ARGV[0]));listen(S,5);while(1){accept(N,S);if(!fork){
open(STDERR,">&N");chop($r=<N>);$r=~s/^GET //i;select(N);getprint($r);exit;}}
