Abstract

The efficiency and safety of Web access can be enhanced by the deployment of an http proxy server in many cases. The first part of this paper provides an introduction to the issue of an HTTP proxy server. The second part of the paper describes used technologies and an implementation of a multithreaded HTTP proxy server with an embedded WWW server used for the graphics user interface. In its current state, the developed proxy server can be used to monitor the WWW traffic of a local area network and, with further development of its functionalities, can include such areas as content filtering or access control.
