I was wondering, when you set your browser's proxy setting to localhost, how
do you access that information through a program?

In PHP would you open a specific stream, or would you open a socket on
127.0.0.1 with the same port as the one you specified in your browser?

Basically when you make your browser use a localhost proxy, where does the
information actually "go"? Does the browser open a socket and send the
information to whatever it connects to? If there has to be something
listening on that port, what happens if two applications are listening to
the same port? Do they both get the same data?


Thanks in advance of my other thank yous,
Plutarck
