- Short: Caching Proxy V0.12beta for any Web-Browser
- Author: mshopf@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (Matthias Hopf)
- Uploader: mshopf@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (Matthias Hopf)
- Version: 0.12 public beta
- Replaces: comm/tcp/httpproxy.lha
- Type: comm/tcp
- Requires: AmiTCP V2.0 and up
-
- Httpproxy is a proxy that caches incomming data for http requests. This can
- speed up loading of a page enormously, once you visited it. If you don't
- know what a proxy is, read the 'Beginners Guide' section of the provided
- guide file.
-
- If you want to upgrade from a older version read the "What's New?" section
- inside the guide file.
-
- There are some ARexx-scripts around that provide the same functionality,
- but these alter the documents and don't provide additional features
- httpproxy has.
-
- It is possible to configure httpproxy in a way that you are able to browse
- in offline mode, too (assuming you are connected to the internet by modem),
- at least through the pages you already visited. Then you are able to queue
- requests and let httpproxy send them automatically next time when you are
- online.
-
- Httpproxy is Emailware - be sure to read the License section of the
- provided guide file.
-
- It is still beta, but as it seems to run stable and I couldn't find another
- bug for a couple of days I decided to make this beta version public.
-
- Note that there is a support page
- http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/user/mshopf/proxy_history.html
- which contains the latest information about known bugs and limitations.
-
- Enjoy!
