    Just wondering, what sort of functions etc would I have to look into to fully code a proxy class from the ground up (like PHProxy and CGI proxy).

    Yeah im aware it'll be complicated as all hell, but im still just wondering, and also, what sort of things proxies would need? Like different things that would need to be done to the pages that are searched?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Cool idea!!
    You would need lots of stuff. I will list some stuff below:

    1. Some functions to fetch URLs. (Snoopy class?) This would include HTTPS and HTTP.
    2. Some javascript to do client-side processing, like creating bitmask value from the options (like PHProxy does) and also for hiding the URL.
    3. Some encoding functions like ROT13 and BASE64 to encode the URLs.
    4. A page parser, to parse the HTML page and convert the links,images etc. to redirect through the proxy itself

    thats all I can think of now....

    Are you talking about a SOCKS proxy, or just a HTTP one?

    You can also make it so that it can be routed through ANOTHER remote HTTP or SOCKS proxy.

    Just an idea...

    mean we are getting request from our client and then through another process we run that and then give the dive to our client? am i in right direction ottodo??

    if it is so then we might be in trouble if some one does some sort of fraud through our proxy site???

    infect i am also interested to make a PHP proxy or i can also do using JAVA..

    I'll be logging every site search and used through the proxy, and the users IP etc, if anything illegal goes down i'll ensure I have all the information that whoever wants :D

    All im looking for is some pushes in the direction of PHP/JS functions or scripts that can help me out.

    And yeah I'll be scouring the PHProxy code for a while :)

    It will be a good thing to log those IPs and searches. In fact you may discover new profitable niches by just looking at those searches. I am looking for a good and cheap web hosting solution to run a proxy...
