Hi everybody, In the discussion about transparent proxy support everybody should remember about transparent support of other protocols besides HTTP. It is only use of Host headers, that gives Squid ability to do transparency without patching the source. Taking into consideration other protocols - Telnet, FTP, POP3, etc proxy needs to get information about connection destination and THAT is specific for redirection scheme. E.g IPFilter has a ioctl to get destination. I haven't seen any sample code for doing that under IPFW, should I use getsockname or what? For me, it is extremely inconvinient to have two filtering solutions on FreeBSD each having some unique features - Luigi's Dummynet for IPFW and platform independence and supported by other applications like FWTK, transparent proxy support of IPFilter :-( Just my 0.02 cents Adrian Pavlykevych email: <pam@polynet.lviv.ua> System Administrator phone/fax: +380 (322) 742041 State University "Lvivska Polytechnica" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
