I get a reply back from the HOST but unfortunately this is not shown in
my browser ( html appears in my console ) .

I am putting the code here .. ( Its a thread ) pls run with the Server
Class specified below it ..

Before asking a question you should really try to summarise the problem in a succinct code piece, not just attach all the code you have. Please see ESR's "Smart questions" (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html)

Secondly, I think you need to read the rfc for the http protocol (rfc 2068) and others (see http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/default0602.htm) for you to understand how a proxy works. As mentioned in another reply, doing readLine() is not the way to go. A reply can for example contain binary or MIME multi part data, so the processing is a bit more complex than just reading a line at a time You need to implement the proxy as a half part HTTP client and half part HTTP server to make it work properly and not run into mystical problems all along.
