[REBOL] web proxy

2000-05-08 Thread Galt_Barber




Basically, I wanted to know if it was possible,
and how, to write an http proxy server, using Rebol of course.

I want to be able to have the proxy filter page content,
e.g. translate to uppercase, to another font, to another
language, or other kinds of transformations on the text,
and have it be more or less invisible and automatic
to the person browsing.

I know that I could write an app that would put up a form
and you would fill out the url and submit it and the rebol
app could fetch the page, filter it, and return it,
but it gets tedious, and it really fails on urls with frames,
and other stuff.

I dont know if the http proxy server idea would be too
complex to make it worth it or if rebol has stuff built in
already that makes it very easy, or ...

And if somebody knows where to get docs on http proxy info,
that would be kind and helpful.
