Reiner> This is what I use. It is from a older issue of the german "Linux

Also see <http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col34.html>,
a pre-forking (apache-style) compressing proxy server, and
<http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col11.html>, the older
version of same.
On my disk (and soon to be a column), I have a pre-forking, load
adapting (MinSpareIdle and MaxSpareIdle, anyone?) proxy server that
properly handles HTTPS transparent passthrough (via CONNECT) and
streams the results, *and* puts an HTML::Parser in streaming mode
inline with any text/html response, so that you can rewrite the HTML
on the fly by simply recognizing the events in your handcrafted state
machine, and recognizes local URLs to serve them if needed. It
benchmarks at *half* the speed of Apache, even doing everything it's
doing in Pure Perl, and is under 500 lines of code.
Coming soon to a magazine near you. :-)
