​ ​PROXY WEB SERVER

ABSTRACT

A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow


clients to make indirect network connections to other network services.A client connects
to the proxy server,and then requests a connection,file or other resources allow on a
different server.
The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by
serving it from a cache.In some cases,the proxy may alter the client’s request or the
server’s response for various purposes,usually to view websites that are normally not
allowed,such as game sites in school or work place.

INTRODUCTION

​A proxy act as an intermediate agent between the client and server which they want
to access,performing function directed towards a variety of purposes like
security,caching etc..
As the name proxy it means server which fills up or acts and provides
functionalities of some other server.
A server that sits between a client application,such as a web browser and a real
server.It intercepts all requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests
itself.If not,it forwards the request to the real server.

A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network services to allow


clients to make indirect connections to other network services.It also acts as an
intermediary between web server and its clients.

A proxy server is a server,a computer system or application program that acts as an


intermediary from clients seeking resources from other server.A proxy server may
optionally alter the clients request or the servers response,and sometimes it may
serve the request without contacting the specified server.

In this case,it caches responses from the remote server and returns requests for the
same content directly.Proxy server solves the problems of network congestion and
slow response time and provides control over network resources without burdening
end users or network administrators.

PURPOSES OF PROXY SERVER:

Proxy server has mainly 2 purposes:

❖ IMPROVE PERFORMANCE:

Proxy servers improve performance for group of users.This is because it saves


the results of all requests for a certain amount of time.Consider the case where
both users X,Y access the WorldWideWeb through a proxy server.First user X
requests a certain web page,which we will call page1.Later,user Y requests the
same page.Insteading of forwarding the requests to web server where page1
resides,which can be a time consuming operation,the proxy server simply returns
the page1 that it already fetched for user X.since the proxy server is often on the
same network as the user,this is a much faster operation.

❖ FILTER REQUEST:

It can also be used to filter requests.For example,a company might usea


proxy server to prevent its employees from accessing a specific set of
websites.
