Description:
This is an extension that provides an http proxy server to your visual dialogscript applications. Within minutes you can start up a proxy server from your local machine. Set the default port and your ready to go. The extension will also trigger events when someone connects and requests a url, as well as when a user disconnects from the server. Http proxy servers usually connect multiple times to retrieve images and disconnect many times after receiving images/files and all of this information is provided. This extension also allows you to filter sites, which allows you to build a filter on your local computer from sites you do not want others to view. This extension is shareware and will not work when the script is compiled until a valid serial number is supplied. eg. external vdshttpx,<serial number>
Commands:
[+] HTTPX DEFAULTPORT,<port>
[+] HTTPX DENYLIST,<filename>
[+] HTTPX DENYTEXT,<html text>
[+] HTTPX EVENTS,<mode>
[+] HTTPX NEXTHOPPROXY,<proxyaddress:port>
[+] HTTPX OFF
[+] HTTPX ON
[+] HTTPX REDIRECTLIST,<filename>
[ Command Explanation ] :
[-] HTTPX DEFAULTPORT,<port>
This command sets the http proxy server port to use. By default the port is 8080. You should only use numeric numbers for the port parameter. If the port is already open no notification is sent to you and the proxy server will not function.
<port> - this is the port number to use. It should be a port that is not already open on your machine and is a numeric number. By default port 8080 is used by most proxy servers.
[-] HTTPX DENYLIST,<filename>
This command sets the filename to look for which is a list of urls to deny clients from viewing. This allows you to block certain objectionable sites from being viewed.
<filename> - this is the file which contains a list of urls/text to deny, using keywords allows you to deny any content/url with that word in it. Use the the following format within the file:
www.whatever.com
www.dontview.com
badwords
badcontent
[-] HTTPX DENYTEXT,<html text>
This command allows you set the text to display to the user when an url has been denied.
<html text> - this parameter is the text to return to the client and should contain standard HTML <tags> and coding. Ex: <HTML><BODY>Error - DENIED</BODY></HTML>
[-] HTTPX EVENTS,<mode>
This command allows you to turn events on or off. By default events are OFF. The use of events allows your application to know when a url has been requested and when a connection has been disconnected. The use of such information is good for statistical log purposes.
<mode> - there are two modes to choose from to modify how events are handled
NO - no events are generated
YES - events are generated
look below to see which events are generated
[-] HTTPX NEXTHOPPROXY,<proxyaddress:port>
This optional command allows you to use a second http proxy server to jump to before returning content back to the client. This allows your proxy server to download files anonymously.
<proxyaddress:port> - this parameter should be in the form of the proxyaddress and then the ':' character followed by the port. Ex: proxy.com:8080
[-] HTTPX OFF
This command turns the http proxy server off. Any client machine that is connected will no longer be able to view urls through your machine.
[-] HTTPX ON
This command turns the http proxy server on. Your machine is now accessible to anyone connected to the internet via your IP address and urls will be accessible through your server.
[-] HTTPX REDIRECTLIST,<filename>
This command sets the filename to look for which is a list of urls to redirect clients to. This allows you to redirect certain sites to another url. Please note that redirection only allows you to point to domains that have an IP address assigned, basically sites that do not use virtual domains.
<filename> - this is the file which contains a list of urls/text to redirect to, using keywords allows you to redirect any content/url with that word in it to another site. You should specify an url/keyboard then the "|" character followed by the new url to redirect to. Use the the following format within the file:
www.whatever.com|newsite.com
www.dontview.com|redirect.com
badwords|www.borland.com
badcontent|www.microsoft.com
