The listed features below: *Transparent connections through HTTP proxies. *Tunneled HTTPS connections through HTTP proxies, via the CONNECT method. *Transparent connections through SOCKS proxies (version 4 & 5) using native Java socket support. seems to play a vital role in meeting my requirement. But before I dig my head into this stuff I would like to elaborate my situtaion. The web server(external IP) in question is supposed to render a image to be fetched from an application(ARC MAP) to be run on a peer machine in LAN. Since ARC Map can't be installed in te same machine which is a web server. What approach would be a neat approach in meeting this requirement. Kindly let may know what could be your approach in this context.
