Now when you have an excellent tool like squid why would anyone go to write his own proxy

I want to be able to use a php webpage to authenticate the user to make it
as transparent as possible, a method that AFAIK squid doesn't support.

also it is just something to learn from.

Sorry If I sounded offending, But seriously , dont you think you are going through too much of a bother. You may solve this problem probably but then there are going to hundreds of such.

I am not discouraging you from learning, but then you can not just keep trouble shooting ( probably at the cost of your clients' )

So you are trying to write a session-support proxy , good luck .

Why dont you use a standard open source proxy and change the authentication program ( you can configure that in squid ) to read session info from a server-side session file , which you create when the user logs in and delete when he logs out .
