Features
CACHING: All requested files can be stored in a local cache.
Filenames of all cached files contain remote host address and the full
path specified in the GET method; cache directory path can be changed,
as well as maximum number of cacheable files: if this number is reached,
older files are deleted (FIFO). In this way, no index is needed.
FILTERING: Plain text and HTML documents can be scanned before saving
and uploading to the requester client. GALProxy verifies if any word
contained in a "filter.txt" file appears in the remote document;
if this happens, an error message in sent to the requester.
Filter's filename can be changed. Filter's content can be modified
using a text editor.
LOGGING: Each request can be recorded in a log.
All entries specify:
- request's date and time
- requester IP address
- remote site address
- error code returned, or "local" / "filtered" strings.
