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.

From Web Characterization Terminology & Definitions Sheet (1999-05-24) | Glossary for this source
A proxy is an intermediary which acts as both a server and a
client for the purpose of retrieving resources or resource
manifestations on behalf of other clients. Clients using a proxy
know the proxy is present and that it is an intermediary.

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15) | Glossary for this source
Software that receives HTTP requests and forwards that
request
toward the origin server (possibly by way of an upstream proxy)
using HTTP. The proxy receives the response from the origin server
and forwards it to the requesting client. In providing its
forwarding functions, the proxy may modify either the request or
response or provide other value-added functions. For the purposes
of this specification, "proxy" refers to request/response
forwarding functionality, which may exist in a stand-alone HTTP
proxy or may be co-located with a gateway or origin server.

From Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 (1999-06-15) | Glossary for this source
An intermediary program which acts as both a server and a client for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients. Requests are serviced internally or by passing them on, with possible translation, to other servers. A proxy MUST implement both the client and server requirements of this specification. A "transparent proxy" is a proxy that does not modify the request or response beyond what is required for proxy authentication and identification. A "non-transparent proxy" is a proxy that modifies the request or 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.
