PROXY-SERVER(1C)                                              PROXY-SERVER(1C)


NAME

       proxy-server - serializing, transaction logging http proxy server


SYNOPSIS

       proxy-server [server-ip] [server-port] [:prefix=filename_prefix]
       [:overwrite=false] [:start=0]


DESCRIPTION

       proxy-server is a crude http proxy server which accepts one connection
       at a time and logs all information about the transaction between the
       client and server to a set of files containing a sequence number.

       The client request is logged to file type req the responsed headers
       from the server are file type hdr and the content from the server to a
       file type which depends on the mime type of the result, txt , html ,
       gif , jpg are supported, and the default for any unknown are
       unspecified type is dat

   COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
       [server-ip]
               The server-ip defaults to 0.0.0.0.

       [server-port]
               The server-port defaults to 9000.

       :prefix=XXXX
               The XXXXX is the prefix used for the transaction log files.  It
               defaults to YEAR MONTH DAY HOUR MINUTE SECOND of the time the
               command was stated.

       :start=index
               The index plus 1 is the first filename created.

       :overwrite=status
               The status is false, the default, to prevent the proxy server
               from overwriting its log files. A setting of true will allow
               files to be overwritten, and a setting of skip will cause the
               filename counter to be incremented until an overwrite is
               avoided.


BUGS

       This utility isn't robust enough to run continuously as a proxy server.
       It is intended to be run from the command line, to be monitored during
       use, and to be restarted manually if needed. You might see errors
       messages such as empty request from client, accept (errobj Protocol
       error) and recv (errobj Connection reset by peer), from time to time,
       depending on the client browser and tcp stack.
