tinyproxy version 1.7.x tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP/SSL proxy daemon released under the GNU General Public License. tinyproxy is very useful in a small network setting, where a larger proxy would either be too resource intensive, or a security risk. One of the key features of tinyproxy is the buffering connection concept. In effect, tinyproxy will buffer a high speed response from a server, and then relay it to a client at the highest speed the client will accept. This feature greatly reduces the problems with sluggishness on the Internet. If you are sharing an Internet connection with a small network, and you only want to allow HTTP requests to be allowed, then tinyproxy is a great tool for the network administrator.

There are additional command line arguments you can supply to configure. They include: --enable-debug If you would like to turn on full debugging support --enable-socks This turns on SOCKS support for using tinyproxy across a fire wall. --enable-xtinyproxy Compile in support for the XTinyproxy header, which is sent to any web server in your domain. --enable-filter Allows tinyproxy to filter out certain domains and URLs. --enable-upstream Enable support for proxying connections through another proxy server. --enable-transparent-proxy Allow tinyproxy to be used as a transparent proxy daemon --enable-static Compile a static version of tinyproxy Options for file locations etc. --with-stathost=HOST Set the default name of the stats host --with-config=FILE Set the default location of the configuration file SUPPORT If you are having problems with tinyproxy, please submit a bug at the tinyproxy Bugzilla component at: https://bugzilla.banu.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=tinyproxy You may also wish to subscribe to the tinyproxy mailing list. To do so please visit: https://lists.banu.com/mailman/listinfo/tinyproxy for more information on how to subscribe and post messages to the list. Please recompile tinyproxy with full debug support (--enable-debug) and include a copy of the log file, and any assert errors reported by tinyproxy. Note that tinyproxy will output memory statistics to standard error if compiled with debugging support so you might want to redirect the output to a file for later examination. Also, if you feel up to it, try running tinyproxy under your debugger and report the error your received and a context listing of the location. Under gdb you would run tinyproxy like so: gdb tinyproxy (gdb) run -c location_of_tinyproxy_conf -d 2>/dev/null Now access the port tinyproxy is on until you receive a break in the gdb. You can now type: (gbd) l to produce a context listing of the location of the error. Send a copy to the authors.
