Description
Ziproxy
Ziproxy is a cool tool that acts as a forwarding, non-caching, compressing HTTP proxy server. What does that mean? Well, it helps make images smaller by turning them into lower quality JPEGs or JPEG 2000 formats and compresses HTML and other text data using gzip. So, it's all about speed and efficiency!
Features of Ziproxy
But wait, there's more! Ziproxy comes loaded with features like:
- Preemptive hostname resolution
- HTML/JS/CSS optimization
- Transparent proxying
- And more!
When to Use Ziproxy?
This tool really shines in low-bandwidth situations such as:
- ISPs offering dial-up services
- Mobile internet providers
- HTTP WAN optimization scenarios
- Saturated point-to-point connections
A Bit About Web Acceleration
You might hear people call Ziproxy a "web accelerator." It's not the best name since so many products out there claim to be accelerators but don't really deliver.
How Does It Work?
Ziproxy operates in daemon mode. You can also run it via (x)inetd if you want, but that's not the best choice for performance. It supports HTTP/1.1 and works well with HTTPS too.
Supported Operating Systems
If you're wondering where you can use this software, good news! Ziproxy works on various operating systems including:
- Linux (like Red Hat, Conectiva, Debian)
- Cygwin
- FreeBSD (with reports of compatibility on Mac OS X and Solaris)
