HTTP Proxy
« on: April 09, 2006, 04:51:00 pm »
I need some software that'll preferably run on FreeBSD that functions as an HTTP proxy. Authentication optional though I'd seriously want it since I'm gonna run it on amee (a FBSD server).

See, I need to download some programs via ports, and I can't do FTP. However, FreeBSD allows me to use FTP over HTTP proxies, so if I can do this I'm good.

Suggestions?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Uh, can't you use a public proxy?

I've found this list to be rather reliable:

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Squid.  You need to set up your firewall to allow active FTP.

It's his dad's network, and his dad is weird, so that's not an option. =/

My dad "doesn't like FTP" and "doesn't need it" so he blocks FTP altogether. :/

That's why I need an HTTP proxy. :)

I'll check out Squid. Thanks.
