- The GET method is supported by the proxy server, which connects to the specified host and provides host info in response to client requests.
- It can handle both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 protocol request.
- When a client submits an erroneous request or an error, the server responds with the proper Status-code and Response-Phrase values.
- Server is designed such that it can run continuously until error occurs.
- To Undersand :-
- Working of request from local computer to the server.
- Managing several client demands from different clients.
- Concurrency locking technique.
- The idea of cache and the various ways that browsers may utilise it.
- Proxy Server uses :-
- It decreases server-side traffic and expedites the operation.
- It can be applied to prevent users from visiting particular websites.
- An effective proxy will alter the IP so that the server is unaware of the client sending the request.
- To prevent unauthorised access to your client's requests, you can modify the proxy to encrypt the requests.
- Semaphore
- Locks
- Threading
- Cache (LRU algorithm is implemented).
- Our cache will save each client's response as a distinct element in the linked list if a URL opens multiple clients. Therefore, only a portion of the response will be sent during cache retrieval, and the website won't launch.
- Large websites might not be cached because of the cache element's fixed size.
- Run makefile using 'make' command.
- It will create an executable file.
- Runs server using command:
$ ./proxy <port-no>Open http://localhost:port/https://www.cs.princeton.edu/ using incognito mode in browser
