Thanks for the link. I will give it a try. As far as anonymity goes. I'm using a Perl script created by James Marshall called CGIproxy. This script acts as a HTTP proxy. The author describes his script:
"You can retrieve any resource that is accessible from the server it runs on. This is useful when your own access is limited, but you can reach a server that in turn can reach others that you can't. In addition, the user is kept as anonymous as possible from any servers. Common uses include: anonymous proxies similar to The Anonymizer, other personal uses, VPN-like functionality, and others. It's very simple to install, and very configurable." You can get CGIproxy at the following link: http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/ --- John Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There are a number of documents on the web for > setting > up SSL on your own Apache server and signing your > own > certificates.
