ProxyDirectory

This class implements a full blown caching-proxy module for Jigsaw. It relies on the w3c's HTTP client side API to handle both request forwarding and reply caching.

If the handle-ftp attribute is set to true this resource will also fullfil FTP requests. It will not cache the result, however. Redirectin FTP traffic to an upward proxy can be done through the following (standard) Java properties (to be set in the config/server.props file):

ftpProxyPort=8080
ftpProxyHost=cache-sop.inria.fr
ftpProxySet=true

Warning: Do not try to use this resource class in conjunction with the VirtualHostResource class: HTTP specification doesn't allow to have virtual proxies.
