simpleproxy − Simple tcp socket proxy
simpleproxy [-7] [-v] [-V] [-d] [-i] [-u] -P <POP3 users file> -L [<local host>:]<local port> -R <remote host>:<remote port> [-S <proxy host>:<proxy port>]
The simpleproxy program acts as a simple tcp proxy. It opens listening socket on local machine and forwards any connection to the remote host.
simpleproxy accepts following options:
−V |
Version information. |
||
−v |
Makes simpleproxy to write activity information to syslog or stderr. |
||
−7 |
Makes simpleproxy to strip 8th bit. |
||
−i |
Use this flag when starting simpleproxy from INETD. |
||
−d |
By default simpleproxy does not detach itself from control terminal and writes all messages to stderr. This option will detach it from terminal and make it write messages to syslog. |
−L [<local host>:]<local port>
Local host and port name or number to bind for listening. Host name is optional.
−R <remote host>:<remote port>
Remote host and port name or number
−P <POP3 users list>
If specified, simpleproxy will load list of users from the <filename> (one per line). After this it will be forwarding POP3 sessions only if client trying to authenificate as this user.
−S <proxy host>:<proxy port>
HTTPS proxy server host and port name or number.
−a <HTTPS Auth User>:<HTTPS Auth Password>
Authenticate to the HTTPS proxy server with the given userid and password. This option performs BASIC HTTP authentication as specified in RFC 2617. Used only in conjunction with -S.
−A <HTTP Auth User>:<HTTP Auth Password>
Requires HTTP proxy authentication. Client browser must supply username and password to use this proxy. This option performs BASIC HTTP authentication as specified in RFC 2617.
−u |
URLs of visited pages are emitted on stdout. It is used for logging or for remote lecturing, if the output is redirected to a remote command that change a dynamic web page, it is possible to synchronize all the learner web browsers to the same page visited by the instructor. (see the "simple remote lecturing" project on sourceforge). |
−t <trace file>
If specified, simpleproxy will dump all data that passes through connection to the specified file.
Only tcp ports are supported.
