Proxies (Best?)
I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, would an administrator please move it? Thanks.

I've got a situation where we are using iPlanet proxy server to allow some of our web browsers to ONLY go to certain sites on an "approved" list. If they try to go to sites that aren't on the list, they get a message stating that they are at a limited workstation. This would be great overall if the iPlanet proxy (running on Win2K) wasn't so flakey. The performance seems poor because our clients complain about pages not loading completely or at all at times. I've been looking at Freshmeat.net for a decent open source/free software replacement. But there are quite a few proxies and they all seem to have different focuses.

What I need is just an HTTP proxy that will allow me to maintain a list of approved sites. Ideally, it should have a web interface for managing the approved sites since I'm not really the maintainer, a non-technical person is. And finally, the list should work with regular expressions so that wildcards can be used to allow people access to subparts of the approved sites. If possible, we really DON'T want stuff caching on disk because we can't afford to be legally viewed as a "content provider". Since the definition of that is pretty nebulous it makes the non-caching feature pretty important. Anyone know of anything like that?

Apache2 reverse proxies implementation

Hi all, I hope someone here could shine a light on an issue that I am having with apache2. I have 2 servers with apache2 on each, which are on the same network with one router. I have implemented what I have seen on guides on the net on the landing server such as 'Apache2 reverse proxies'... (1 Reply)

CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options					CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL - tunnel through HTTP proxy

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, long tunnel);

DESCRIPTION

       Set the parameter to 1 to make libcurl tunnel all operations through the HTTP proxy. There is a big difference between using a proxy and to
       tunnel through it. If you don't know what this means, you probably don't want this tunneling option.

       Tunneling essentially means that a CONNECT is sent to the proxy, asking it to connect to a remote host on a specific port number  and  then
       the  traffic is just passed through the proxy. Proxies tend to whitelist specific port numbers it allows CONNECT requests to and often only
       port 80 and 443 are allowed.

       When using this, it only makes sense to use CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3) set to a HTTP proxy.

       To suppress proxy CONNECT response headers from user callbacks use CURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS(3).
