If the servlet produces HTML pages on port 80 that should work fine. If you are
communicating with the servlet on port 8007, you'll not get through the firewall,
which is likely to just allow HTTP on port 80.
The optional parameters in the HTTP header controlling caching,proxies,ect. not
considered.

Subject: Proxy with servlet
> Dear all,
>
> I have a question about Proxy server and servlet
>
> I have a client and a proxy server outside the firewall.
> The client dails in the proxy server. The proxy server then connects to

> Then the servlet processes the client request and send something back to
> the client thru the proxy server again.

> I have tried the above arhitecture, it doesn't work. The proxy somehow
> doesn't connect / talk to the server inside the firewall.
> I tried the client dial in with direct link to the server (that runs
> servlet) from the firewall. It works this way.
>
> I wonder if this is the servlet problem. Does the servlet support
> request from proxy server or it just doesn't care at all?

> Anyone has any opinion/experience playing with proxy with servlet?
