Bad enough that the IM blog idea isn't new, the 0xDECAFBAD guy beat me to \"404 Correction\" in a Personal HTTP Proxy via Google's Cache.\nOh well, guess there's only one thing for me to do: quit whining and write the code...
\n\nSo I'm the 0xDECAFBAD guy now, eh? Hee-hee.
\nWell, I haven't gotten around to writing the proxy yet, so you can beat me to that still. :) I've had a metric ton of good and sometimes new ideas throughout my relatively short life, but I have a habit of not getting very many of them done. That's where it counts, not necessarily in the novelty of the idea.
\nI mean... just look at Microsoft.

\r\n Prof Avery\r\n Oops. I would have responded sooner but somehow I missed this post. Forgive me, I was in a mood.\r\n\r\nHere's an update: I've written a small proxy server or two in Perl for debugging, but I'd rather use someone else's proxy code. If this thing works, I'd use it full-time, so best to start with something that's production-ready. I played with Squid thinking I could use a redirector but that only seems to modify requests, not responses. Apparently what I want is a \"reverse proxy,\" which they're still working on.\r\n\r\nSo now I'm thinking either Apache with mod_proxy and mod_perl or a personal proxy server like Muffin.\r\n\r\nIf anyone has thoughts, I'd like to hear them. I'm gonna write this code eventually, I swear :-)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n
