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-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 SUPPORT If you are having problems with Tinyproxy, please submit a bug report using Tinyproxy as the component at: https://www.banu.com/bugzilla/ You may also wish to subscribe to the tinyproxy mailing lists. To do so please visit: https://www.banu.com/mailman/listinfo/tinyproxy-announce-list https://www.banu.com/mailman/listinfo/tinyproxy-users-list https://www.banu.com/mailman/listinfo/tinyproxy-developers-list for more information on how to subscribe and post messages to the lists. 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. CONTRIBUTING If you would like to contribute a feature, or a bug fix to the tinyproxy source, please send a patch (preferably as a unified diff. i.e. "diff -u") against the "master" branch of the tinyproxy source code git repository to the tinyproxy-developers mailing list. Please include a description of what your patch does. Tinyproxy's git repository is git://www.banu.com/tinyproxy.git . The command "git clone git://www.banu.com/tinyproxy.git" creates a local copy. The easiest and preferred way to create a patch for submission is to check in your changes locally and use the command "git format-patch" to generate a mbox-style commit file that contains the diff along with the commit message and author information. Such a format-patch file can be integrated into the upstream repository, automatically keeping the commit message and author information. You can also meet developers and discuss development issues and patches in the #tinyproxy IRC channel on freenode (irc.freenode.net).
