Description: compressing HTTP proxy server
Ziproxy is a forwarding, non-caching, and compressing HTTP proxy server.
Basically, it squeezes images by converting them to lower-quality JPEGs
and compresses (gzip) HTML and other text-like data. It also provides
other features such as HTML/JS/CSS optimization, preemptive hostname
resolution, transparent proxying, IP ToS marking (QoS), Ad-Blocker,
detailed logging, and more.
.
Ziproxy may be installed in a number of different ways. Most common
setup modes:
1) As a remote proxy (by far, the most commonly used setup)
Ziproxy accesses the remote www servers through a fast link,
compresses the data, then send it to the client through a slow link.
In such setups, there's no additional software required by the client,
Ziproxy acts much as a common network proxy.
2) As a local and remote proxy
Similar to setup #1, except that the client also runs its instance of
Ziproxy. Although Ziproxy does not require a Ziproxy-specific client,
there are circumstances where it is desired to run Ziproxy-as-a-client,
such as when the client does not support gzip.
