Re: Extending AllegroServe's proxy abilities

The documentation on turning on Aserve's proxy capability is here:

    http://opensource.franz.com/aserve/aserve-dist/doc/aserve.html#proxy


You can find all the code in proxy.cl if you want to put some
hooks into the process.  I'd written a proxy caching system
(and that code is part of that file) but that isn't production
quality code so it's not mentioned in the documentation.  Maybe
I'll get back to it and finish it at some point.

Beware of turning on the proxy capability of web servers 
that are accessible over the internet.  When it's discovered
that you're running an open proxy server your IP address will be
added to lists of open proxy servers and you will then be inundated
with tons of proxy requests from all over the world and it
will take a long time for your IP address to be removed from
such lists.
