Short: Caching Proxy for AmiTCP/Miami/INet Author: mshopf@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (Matthias Hopf) Uploader: mshopf immd4 informatik uni-erlangen de (Matthias Hopf) Type: comm/tcp Version: 0.14 public beta Replaces: comm/tcp/httpproxy-0_13.lha Requires: AmiTCP V2.0 and up or Miami or INet/AS225/Surfer V4.0 and up Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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. This version of HttpProxy features an automatic installer script. Those who had troubles getting HttpProxy work should retry installing it. HttpProxy does *not* work with the AmiTCP V4.3 Demo version of the popular german 'Amiga Magazin'! Get the AmiTCP V4.0 Demo from Aminet instead. The installer script will check your TCP/IP installation automatically. 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 real support page now on http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/user/mshopf/httpproxy.html which contains also the latest information about known bugs and limitations. Enjoy!
