rofl0r 27d96df999 remove duplicate code calling reload_config_file()
as a side effect of not updating the config pointer when loading
the config file fails, the "FIXME" level comment to take appropriate
action in that case has been removed. the only issue remaining
when receiving a SIGHUP and encountering a malformed config file would
now be the case that output to syslog/logfile won't be resumed, if
initially so configured.

Tinyproxy

Tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP/SSL proxy daemon released under the GNU General Public License. Tinyproxy is very useful in a small network setting, where a larger proxy would either be too resource intensive, or a security risk. One of the key features of Tinyproxy is the buffering connection concept. In effect, Tinyproxy will buffer a high speed response from a server, and then relay it to a client at the highest speed the client will accept. This feature greatly reduces the problems with sluggishness on the Internet. If you are sharing an Internet connection with a small network, and you only want to allow HTTP requests to be allowed, then Tinyproxy is a great tool for the network administrator.

For more info, please visit the Tinyproxy web site.

Installation

Tinyproxy uses a standard GNU configure script based on the automake system. If compiling from a git checkout, you need to first run

./autogen.sh

from the top level directory to generate the configure script. The release tarball contains the pre-created configure script, so when building from a release, you can skip this step. Then basically all you need to do is

./configure
make
make install

in the top level directory to compile and install Tinyproxy. There are additional command line arguments you can supply to configure. They include:

  • --enable-debug: If you would like to turn on full debugging support.

  • --enable-xtinyproxy: Compile in support for the XTinyproxy header, which is sent to any web server in your domain.

  • --enable-filter: Allows Tinyproxy to filter out certain domains and URLs.

  • --enable-upstream: Enable support for proxying connections through another proxy server.

  • --enable-transparent: Allow Tinyproxy to be used as a transparent proxy daemon.

  • --enable-reverse: Enable reverse proxying.

  • --with-stathost=HOST: Set the default name of the stats host.

For more information about the build system, read the INSTALL file that is generated by autogen.sh and comes with the release tar ball.

Support

If you are having problems with Tinyproxy, please raise an issue on github.
