proxy

From Glossary of Terms
for Device Independence (2005-01-18) |
Glossary for
this source
HTTP requests are serviced internally or by
passing them on, with possible translation, to other
HTTP servers. An HTTP proxy must implement both
the client and server requirements of this specification. A
"transparent proxy" is a proxy that does not modify the
HTTP request or the
HTTP response beyond what is required for proxy
authentication and identification. A "non-transparent proxy" is a
proxy that modifies the
HTTP request or
HTTP response in order to provide some added
service to the
user agent, such as group annotation services,
media type transformation, protocol reduction, or anonymity
filtering. Except where either transparent or non-transparent
behavior is explicitly stated, the HTTP proxy requirements apply to
both types of proxies.
