due to the usage of a hashmap to store headers, when relaying them to the other side the order was not prevented. even though correct from a standards point-of-view, this caused issues with various programs, and it allows to fingerprint the use of tinyproxy. to implement this, i imported the MIT-licensed hsearch.[ch] from https://github.com/rofl0r/htab which was originally taken from musl libc. it's a simple and efficient hashtable implementation with far better performance characteristic than the one previously used by tinyproxy. additionally it has an API much more well-suited for this purpose. orderedmap.[ch] was implemented from scratch to address this issue. behind the scenes it uses an sblist to store string values, and a htab to store keys and the indices into the sblist. this allows us to iterate linearly over the sblist and then find the corresponding key in the hash table, so the headers can be reproduced in the order they were received. closes #73 |

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. Unlike other work modes, transparent proxying doesn't require explicit configuration and works automatically when traffic is redirected to the proxy using the appropriate firewall rules. -
--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.
