hi everyone,
i am currently writing a little application in c (and i know there
surely exists at least one free available version of that kind of tool -
but i wanna write it my own) which i'll let run as a daemon on my
machine. this daemon will...
*) receive every outgoing http_request from me (cause i'll bind it to my
http_traffic and use it as proxy for my browser)...
*) parse the http_request (for example i'll modify the usual transmitted
data (for example i'll hide the information about the OS used...)
*) and then forward the data to a public proxy-host
....and now my question - how do i address the proxy? (let's assume that
the proxy is public (no authentication would be necessary) - but how do
i tell the proxy which 'target-website' i want to receive from it?
(do i enter the proxy as 'Host:' (in HTTP/1.1) and the 'real target'
within the url_request itself?)
it must be something like that - at least i think so - anybody any
ideas? (but for so far i couldn't get the clue from
http://www.google.com nor from
http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/index.htm)
thx,
manfred
