Walkthrough

1. Install firefox-secure-proxy package. Within source directory run: pip3 install .. Python 3.5+ required.
2. Login into Firefox Accounts. Run fxsp-login and follow instructions on screen. It's OK if OAuth2 redirected URL is dead, just copy its address into console.
3. Update proxy token with command fxsp-getproxytoken.
4. Run HTTP stub proxy server based on haproxy. There is docker-compose recipe in stub-server directory. Get into it, copy file ~/.config/haproxy_maps into it and run docker-compose up. Local proxy will be running on port 8080, wrapping and authenticating connections to Firefox Secure Proxy.

Updating proxy access token

Proxy access tokens requested by firefox-secure-proxy are valid for 24 hours. In order to update it run in following commands in stub-server directory:

cp -v ~/.config/fxsp/haproxy_map .
docker-compose kill -s HUP haproxy

These actions can be scheduled to be performed automatically. Running haproxy server will be reloaded with no downtime.
