Filter Overview The HTTP proxy server that is included with the Sambar Server allows for filtering of unwanted parts of web pages. There are several uses for this feature such as screening out unwanted advertising or restricting access to undesirable sites. Each HTML request made to the Sambar HTTP Proxy server is forwarded to the HTTPPROXY event handlers. Note: When keep-alive is utilized, only the first request to a site is filtered via the HTTPPROXY; subsequent requests are assumed to be permitted, allowing for more efficient processing by the proxy. The default HTTPPROXY event handler (source code provided) filters each request through the list of configured hosts to restrict. If a match is discovered, the handler either returns no data to the caller or returns the file specified in the configuration file. All of this activity is performed independent of your browser. If you notice an AD or anything you don't wish to get through, simply add a pattern covering it to the [hostfilter] or [urlfilter] sections of the security.ini file found in the config directory. To remove all proxy filtering, simply remove or comment out the HTTPPROXY event handler in the config.ini found in the config directory where the Sambar Server is installed.
