Why not just use the SSH dynamic SOCKS5 proxy?

Just ssh -D 12345 raspberry and then just use localhost:12345 as the scrapers SOCKS5 proxy. No need to involve a http proxy.

EDIT: AAh, ssh port is not accessible from outside and the raspi does a reverse connect.

That can certainly work.

A reason to writing the custom-made proxy is mostly to evolve it supporting several pies, the tunnel being the simpler workaround for now.

Also, I'm a coder and wanted to try getting Scala running on my old pi.
