Summary

Proxy servers are critical to the success of virtually every large Web and intranet site. But managing and optimizing them has always been a black art - until now. In Web Proxy Servers, the co-developer of the first proxy server, the CERN Proxy, explains the technology in depth - and shows how to optimize any proxy server in any environment.
Understand the basic architecture of proxy servers, and compare firewall proxy servers, departmental, personal, and specialized proxies. Discover how proxy servers handle every major Internet protocol, including HTTP, FTP, Gopher, News, SSL, Telnet, and LDAP. Learn how to implement filtering by URLs or PICS content ratings. Review proxy server caching in unprecedented depth.
