Short: Caching Proxy for AmiTCP/INet (all Browsers)
Author: mshopf@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (Matthias Hopf)
Uploader: mshopf@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (Matthias Hopf)
Version: 0.13 public beta
Type: comm/tcp
Replaces: comm/tcp/httpproxy-0_12.lha
Requires: AmiTCP V2.0 and up or INet/AS225/Surfer V4.0 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.
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.
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!
