web proxy
httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html#examples
enable mod_proxy in /etc/apache/modules.conf:
LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libproxy.so
create /etc/apache/conf.d/proxy:
Listen 8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
NoCache *
<Directory proxy:*>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 12.34.56.78 localhost 87.65.43.21
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
configuring the proxy is not difficult, but if it doesn't work, testing it can be puzzling.
> telnet <proxyhost> 8080
GET http://www.google.com/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
(end with two returns)
If you don't get a response that looks like a website, then it ain't working.
You can also test your client. Run this, on the proxyhost:
# apt-get install netcat
> nc -l -p 8080
This will spit out what the request looks like that your browser is making (assuming your browser is configured to use proxyhost:8080 as its proxy).
