Hi, I have a Power Macintosh 7200/120 running mac os 7.5.5. I was
wondering if there is an application that could create a webserver
which would allow other computers to make a request for a web page
which it would download and then serve. I want to do this to bypass my
schools white listing. Before you say I shouldn't, they block sites
What you are looking for is called a proxy server.
for 7.5.5, options are limited. there was one (not cheap) commercial
solution that was a nice GUI put on top of Apache basically, but I
can't recall the name. I used that at a univ. in 1997 or 1998 on a
powermac. Webstar too in later versions could be a proxy server, but
I'm not sure about the old version for 7.5.5. It's in the version
released in 2000 for sure.
A website for proxy server stuff in general is http://www.wazmac.com/
wazza/networking/proxy.html but they really talk about stuff needing
a newer OS than you have.
http://www.macorchard.com/server.html
lists "Pipeline" which has a powermac version, so you may be in luck.
anyway some googling with "mac proxy server" or similar keywords
should get you started. the only one I've ever maintained at all was
that spendy solution (it's going to bug me all day about the name...)
HTH.
