There is already       existing Free software (e.g. Squid) that does more along those lines than       you might be able to think of.              Back in my dialup days, I discovered one day, quite by accident, that my       ISP was proxying my port-80 accesses☛ through its own web cache. I       discovered this when I was working on a client’s site, and was baffled to       find that my changes were not being picked up on a refresh.              I can’t remember what I did for a workaround: it might have been as simple       as configuring Apache to listen on an additional nonstandard port, that I       used only for testing.              ☛Remember, this was when people had to pay for TLS/SSL certs, so they were       much less common              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
