micro_proxy

micro_proxy(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    micro_proxy(8)

NAME

       micro_proxy - really small HTTP/HTTPS proxy

SYNOPSIS

       micro_proxy

DESCRIPTION

       micro_proxy  is	a  very small HTTP/HTTPS proxy.  It runs from inetd, which means its performance is poor.  But for low-traffic sites, it's
       quite adequate.	It implements all the basic features of an HTTP/HTTPS proxy, in only 260 lines of code.

       To install it, add a line like this to /etc/inetd.conf:
	   webproxy  stream tcp nowait nobody  /usr/sbin/micro_proxy micro_proxy
       Make sure the path to the executable is correct.  Then add a line like this to /etc/services:
	   webproxy   port/tcp
       Change "port" to the port number you want to use - 3128, or whatever.  Then restart inetd by sending it a "HUP" signal, or rebooting.

       On some systems, inetd has a maximum spawn rate - if you try to run inetd services faster than a certain number of  times  per  minute,	it
       assumed	there's  either  a  bug of an attack going on and it shuts down for a few minutes.  If you run into this problem - look for syslog
       messages about too-rapid looping - you'll need to find out how to increase the limit.  Unfortunately this varies from OS to OS.	 On  Free-
       BSD,  you  add  a  "-R 10000" flag to inetd's initial command line.  On some Linux systems, you can set the limit on a per-service basis in
       inetd.conf, by changing "nowait" to "nowait.10000".
