Hi, to build an application Gateway I am looking for proxys for the following services: - http - https - smtp - pop3 (if exists, pop3 via ssl) - ftp - dns I have found some tools (especially tis which has only some of the proxys I am looking for) but I am not sure which one to take and would appreciate a hint a lot. The far most important issue is security and not performance. Second: There is one thing I do not understand: Commercial proxys offer https/pop3 via ssl etc. How does this work together with the end to end conection of ssl? How can the proxy be able to interfere these "secure" connections? It does not have the ssl certificate and can not pretend to be the ssl-server to the client application so - how is the proxying done? can one do all the scanning on the proxy that you can do with non-encryptet connection (e.g http compared to https)? thanks for any hint /ch -- "Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
