Re: FAQ ?

If you want a user to go to www.yoursite.com but automatically do so via
your proxy server, and NOT changing the browser, you have to do so via
transparent proxy, which usually is a configuration change in the
router.

I don't want 'transparent' proxy, but want (I guess) 'URL Proxy'.

Based on my example, if the user enters:

http://whatever.com, they'll go DIRECTLY to that site, without proxying
(unless they have proxy settings in their browser, in which case,
they'll use that proxy)

https://my.proxy.net:nnnn/http://whatever.com, then they'll GO to that
site (whatever.com) using 'my.proxy.net' as a proxy server. I changed
my example to https, since most https sites are not cached via proxy,
then they'll definetly go to my site via it.

Again, this exactly what 'www.anonymizer.com' does. I just will use it
for our own users (prior authentication)...

I'm CCing the list again, hoping someone else understands this better
and offers a more suitable suggestion and/or example code.
