2004-08-24Removed the "releases.txt" file from the distribution. It didn'tRobert James Kaes
really add anything, so there's no point in having it.
2004-04-27Added the "BindSame" configure directive from Oswald Buddenhagen.Robert James Kaes
This allows tinyproxy to respond to a request bound to the same interface that the request came in on. As Oswald explains: "attached is a patch that adds the BindSame option. it causes binding an outgoing connection to the ip address of the respective incoming connection. that way one can simulate an entire proxy farm with a single instance of tinyproxy on a multi-homed machine." Cool.
2004-04-27These files list all the other files that CVS should ignore. It makesRobert James Kaes
looking at the CVS status information a little cleaner.
2004-01-26Added reverse proxy support from Kim Holviala. His comments regardingRobert James Kaes
this addition follow: The patch implements a simple reverse proxy (with one funky extra feature). It has all the regular features: mapping remote servers to local namespace (ReversePath), disabling forward proxying (ReverseOnly) and HTTP redirect rewriting (ReverseBaseURL). The funky feature is this: You map Google to /google/ and the Google front page opens up fine. Type in stuff and click "Google Search" and you'll get an error from tinyproxy. Reason for this is that Google's form submits to "/search" which unfortunately bypasses our /google/ mapping (if they'd submit to "search" without the slash it would have worked ok). Turn on ReverseMagic and it starts working.... ReverseMagic "hijacks" one cookie which it sends to the client browser. This cookie contains the current reverse proxy path mapping (in the above case /google/) so that even if the site uses absolute links the reverse proxy still knows where to map the request. And yes, it works. No, I've never seen this done before - I couldn't find _any_ working OSS reverse proxies, and the commercial ones I've seen try to parse the page and fix all links (in the above case changing "/search" to "/google/search"). The problem with modifying the html is that it might not be parsable (very common) or it might be encoded so that the proxy can't read it (mod_gzip or likes). Hope you like that patch. One caveat - I haven't coded with C in like three years so my code might be a bit messy.... There shouldn't be any security problems thou, but you never know. I did all the stuff out of my memory without reading any RFC's, but I tested everything with Moz, Konq, IE6, Links and Lynx and they all worked fine.
2003-08-07Incorporated patches from Marc Silver to improve the readability andRobert James Kaes
understandability of the documentation.
2003-08-05Patch from Marc Silver to improve the readability and accuracy of theRobert James Kaes
tinyproxy man page.
2003-08-05Added the cookie header to the documented list of headers to allowRobert James Kaes
through.
2003-06-25Changed the calls to "ps" and "grep" to use a more portable syntax.Robert James Kaes
2003-06-23# Added a bit more description to describe where to look for the errorRobert James Kaes
HTML files. In the future the installation script should modify the tinyproxy.conf file.
2003-06-20Removed the "ViaHeader" directive and replaced it with theRobert James Kaes
"ViaProxyName" directive. The "Via" HTTP header is _required_ by the HTTP spec, so the code has been changed to always send the header. However, including the proxy's host name could be considered a security threat, so the "ViaProxyName" directive is used to set the token sent in the "Via" header. If the directive is not enabled the proxy's host name will be used.
2003-06-02Included additional examples of how to configure the upstream proxyRobert James Kaes
support for more selective proxying.
2003-05-29Improved the upstream proxy support by making the upstream proxyRobert James Kaes
server configurable based on the destination host. [Code written by Peter da Silva]
2003-03-17Create the doc/report.sh script from the new template file.Robert James Kaes
2003-03-17Moved the doc/report.sh script to doc/report.sh.tmpl file. The scriptRobert James Kaes
is then updated by the make procedure to reflect the correct location of the tinyproxy executable.

tarball.

page. [Steven Young]

2002-06-07Added the "FilterDefaultDeny" directive to allow the user to select whether ↵Robert James Kaes

2002-06-05Added the "filter-howto.txt" file to the distribution.Robert James Kaes
2002-06-05Added a short filtering HOWTO document from Patrick L. McGillan.Robert James Kaes

2002-05-17Added "releases.txt" to the list of files which need to be included in theRobert James Kaes
