Not easily. The problem is a state question. HTTP is stateless so it is
somewhat hard for the proxy to know that the user has seen the message.

Interception proxying requires you to act as if you were the web server,
so you must reconstruct the full URL from the pieces found in the request
and connection
In principle the data you have are:
* Real destination IP address from the connection
* URL-Path from the request method
* Requested hostname from the Host header if there is one.
