Hi,
I am looking at the possibility of writing a very basic proxy server app to
run on X. This app is intended to act as a proxy server for the local
machine only, in order to twiddle data a bit. I have not done this before,
so I have some newbie kind of questions.
Q1. Is it possible for a user to deploy more than 1 proxy server on machine
for a given port?
Q2. If only a single proxy server can be used for a given port, what
percentage of users might already have a proxy server in use?
Q3. I see the Network control panel has a Proxies tab. Does anyone know if
these settings can be programmatically set?
Q4. Apart from whatever overhead the specialized functionality of the proxy
server itself takes, how much overhead is there to adding this
receiving/forwarding mechanism? If there's a lot of data being exchanged,
what kind of performance hit does it bring? Thoughts?
Thanks for any assistance.
Eric
