Hi there, I am coding a proxy (not something big, I just need it for a project) in Java, then I would have some questions about proxies :
* Why does HTTP/FTP/SSL & co proxies exist since SOCKS alone could do all needed tasks ? * Can I force firefox (or anything else) that support both HTTP and SOCKS to use SOCKS for seeing web pages ? * Where can I find specs for doing HTTP/FTP/SSL/Gopher proxy ? * How comes that all proxy services are listening on the same port ? Does the proxy server bind to specific protocol proxy according to what headers looks like ? Regards, Rémy
