.SH DESCRIPTION
.I proxy-server
is a crude http proxy server which accepts one connection
at a time and logs all information about the transaction
between the client and server to a set of files containing
a sequence number.

The client request is logged to file type 
.B req
the responsed headers from the server are file type
.B hdr
and the content from the server to a file type which depends
on the mime type of the result,
.B txt
,
.B html
,
.B gif
,
.B jpg
are supported, and the default for any unknown are unspecified
type is
.B dat
.

will allow files to be overwritten,
and a setting of 
.B skip 
will cause the filename counter to be incremented
until an overwrite is avoided.

.SH BUGS

This utility isn't robust enough to run continuously
as a proxy server. It is intended to be run from the command
line, to be monitored during use, and to be restarted manually
if needed. You might see errors messages such as empty request
from client, accept (errobj Protocol error) and recv (errobj
Connection reset by peer), from time to time, depending
on the client browser and tcp stack.
