In order to proxy an HTTP request, we create a local peer which listens on `localhost:9900`. HTTP requests performed to that address are tunneled via a libp2p stream to a remote peer, which then performs the HTTP requests and sends the response back to the local peer, which relays it
to the user.

Note that this is a very simple approach to a proxy, and does not perform any header management, nor supports HTTPS. The `proxy.go` code is thoroughly commeted, detailing what is happening in every step.

As you can see, the proxy prints the listening address `127.0.0.1:9900`. You can now use this address as proxy, for example with `curl`:
```
$ curl -x "127.0.0.1:9900" "http://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmfUX75pGRBRDnjeoMkQzuQczuCup2aYbeLxz5NzeSu9G6"

it works!

# The libp2p 'host'
For most applications, the host is the basic building block you'll need to get
started. This guide will show how to construct and use a simple host.
The host is an abstraction that manages services on top of a swarm. It provides
a clean interface to connect to a service on a given remote peer.

next step is setting up a 'swarm network' to handle all the peers you will
connect to. The swarm handles incoming connections from other peers, and
handles the negotiation of new outbound connections.

In future guides we will go over ways to use hosts, configure them differently
(hint: there are a huge number of ways to set these up), and interesting ways
to apply this technology to various applications you might want to build.
