//! # Proxy Module
//!
//! This module has the actual proxy functionality, exposed through
//! `Server`. The proxy consists of a local unencrypted TCP stream
//! and a remote TLS stream. Messages are passed between them via two
//! threads.
//!
//! Each new client connection spawns two threads:
//! - **Client to Server Thread**: Forwards data from client -> TLS server
//! - **Serveer to Client Thread**: Forwards data from TLS server -> client
//!
//! Finally, the `Server` may be shutdown by calling `.shutdown()`,
//! this will stop new connections and wait for it to finish.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use crate::configuration::Proxy;
//! use crate::proxy::Server;
//!
//! let config = Arc::new(Proxy {
//!     protocol: "IMAP".to_string(),
//!     local_port: 143,
//!     remote_domain: "imap.example.com".to_string(),
//!     remote_port: 993,
//! });
//!
//! let mut server = Server::new(config);
//! // The server runs in a background thread. To shut down gracefully:
//! server.shutdown();
//! ```
