I created this tool a while ago to allow me to see and edit IRC
traffic between my IRC client and the IRC server for debugging
purposes. It is built to work with any text based TCP/IP application
level protocol. I've decided to [open
source](https://github.com/synfron/Reshaper) and release it to help
other developers. It wasn't made to be beautiful, but to be useful.
Windows only

Example Usage for IRC:

1. Go to the Settings tab
2. Click Proxies
3. Click New...
4. Proxy Name: <Any name>
5. Port: <A port Reshaper will listen on, e.g. 6667>
6. Proxy Type: Text
7. Destination Host: <Any IRC server hostname>
8. Destination Port: <IRC server's port>
9. Use Delimiter: Check
10. Add Delimiter: \r\n
11. Add Delimiter: \n
12. Enabled: Check
13. Auto-Activate: <Check: To activate the proxy whenever Reshaper
starts>
14. Click Save
15. Connect your IRC client to 127.0.0.1 at the Port specified at Step
5
16. Click the Text tab to view incoming and outgoing traffic
