    Proxy Server Software

    Does anyone know of any proxy server software or proxy server simulation type software that you can run on a Windows XP box?

    Basically what I am looking to do is simulate a proxy server so I can test code I write for situations when my customer is behind a proxy server. We don't have one here, and other than knowing what their purpose is, I don't know a ton about proxy server administration. So while I guess I could just download ISA server from Microsoft and install on a 2k3 server box, I was wondering if there is anything out there I could run locally on my XP machine to mimic this behavior.

    Sorry for mucking up your chit-chat with a serious question, but I figured you guys might know.

    This is a proxy appliance. It is a big download about half a GB and you also need VMware Player or VMWare Server (both free of course ). Once you have downloaded it you simply start it and enter the proxy details in a browser. Its a plug and play proxy server

    You can also configure it to use username and password authentication and test your server with that. Something a lot of programs - even MS programs fall over with.

    Re: Proxy Server Software

    If I install apache locally, can I then configure all HTTP network traffic to pass through the apache proxy server for web requests?

    You can. Setting up authentication is a real pain however - but it is quick and works. Also - squid has a windows build I believe.

    Re: Proxy Server Software

    Thanks I will check all of them out and see which one will suit my needs.

    In the mean time I was able to get my buddy to test my code against his network which does have a NT authenticating proxy, and it worked. I would like to do more extensive in house testing though.

    with proxies there should be no difference between a proxied customer and a non proxied customer, so it shouldn't affect your testing btw.
