Please describe your feature request:

the proxify tool uses fake-http (simplehttpserver) combined with dns hijacking (tinydns custom resolver) to transparently TLS-MITM connections in order to replay them in burp avoiding sending the traffic again.

We can reuse the same mechanism to serve to headless chrome the already crawled http raw response with much higher speed via standard library, then the headless engine will do the heavy work of rendering the raw HTML and pulling any third party file necessary not yet crawled.
This approach might have multiple benefits:

  • Works with more websites using weak ciphers (ztls) as the browser reuse the data already crawled
  • The speed of standard library is much higher, and hopefully the chrome engine for single pages might match same speed as no more network activity out of loopback interface is needed
