Hi, I would like to know your opinion on a proxy that has not been discussed for quite a long time on this list and is seldom mentioned elsewhere : DeleGate Here is a résumé : - main URL http://www.delegate.org/delegate/ - general purpose TCP/IP proxy system (rotocols supported are FTP, Gopher, HTTP, NNTP, POP, SMTP, Telnet, Wais, X, LDAP, LPR, CU-SeeMe, Socks, ICP, SSL) - current version : 5.9.1 (released on 1999-03-15) - runs on Unix (including of course FreeBSD) + M$ platforms - mailing-list available at http://www.delegate.org/delegate/ml/delegate-en.html - FreeBSD port available (but only for version 5.7.2) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/net/delegate/pkg/DESCR - licence less restrictive than FWTK's one - updated regularly by the author What do you think about it ? Do you find it reliable and use it (any experience is welcome) ? The only shortcomings I find for now are : - incomplete and unclear documentation bundled (few samples, not enough details, ...) - warnings during compilation on some platforms - some function calls in the code (I wonder if the code is "secure enough" and robust enough : buffer-overflows, memory-management, ...). Code reviews by security gurus ? - not widely used (mainly used in Japan) I did some tiny tests (only with HTTP, NNTP) and it worked. I didn't try it with SSLeay but plan to use it. I would like to know if it can cope with many users/ high traffic and if you know pros/cons.
