Re: Design Tips

Not so long ago (well last week), I wrote a PHP proxy script which worked in the form: www.myserver.com/proxy/www.whatever.com/blah and it would request the page www.whatever.com/blah and then display it changing all the links on the page to point to my proxy script... The whole script took a hour to write, and I eventually got it to do posts and get, and to send all headers.... So using PHP is totally possible for what job you want Andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Redmond" <davidr@webcentral.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 2:13 AM Subject: [PHP] Design Tips > Hi All, > > I'm about to put myself in the deep end by attempting to create an PHP app > that will perform the role of a proxy server.
