How can a reverse proxy be specified in windows?

Question

End goal: Intercept HTTP request destined for xyz.com, reply with static precomputed response.

I have used mitmproxy before in reverse mode to accomplish this using a web browser but my goal is to target an application running on windows instead.

Would this work with a transparent proxy? Do I just change the gateway address to that of my proxy server?

I solved the issue by using a program called ProxyCap. It allows me to redirect certain applications to my proxy server, presumably by intercepting certain function calls.
