Httpproxy is a proxy that caches incomming data for http requests. This can
speed up loading of a page enormously, once you visited it.  If  you  don't
know  what  a  proxy is, read the 'Beginners Guide' section of the provided
guide file.

If you want to upgrade from a older version read the "What's New?"  section
inside the guide file.


This version of HttpProxy features an automatic installer script. Those who
had troubles getting HttpProxy work should retry installing it.

HttpProxy does *not* work with the AmiTCP V4.3 Demo version of the  popular
german  'Amiga  Magazin'! Get the AmiTCP V4.0 Demo from Aminet instead. The
installer script will check your TCP/IP installation automatically.


There are some ARexx-scripts around that provide  the  same  functionality,
but  these  alter  the  documents  and  don't  provide  additional features
httpproxy has.

It is possible to configure httpproxy in a way that you are able to  browse
in offline mode, too (assuming you are connected to the internet by modem),
at least through the pages you already visited. Then you are able to  queue
requests  and  let httpproxy send them automatically next time when you are
online.

Httpproxy is Emailware - be  sure  to  read  the  License  section  of  the
provided guide file.

It is still beta, but as it seems to run stable and I couldn't find another
bug for a couple of days I decided to make this beta version public.


Note that there is a real support page now on

    http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/user/mshopf/httpproxy.html

which  contains  also  the  latest  information  about   known   bugs   and
limitations.

Enjoy!
