Jim, I have a question about your T.Rex firewall, would you be so kind to give me the specs of that box. I'm looking to implement this type of firewall box, but I'd like to know what type of machines others are using this on. ie, cpu, ram, harddrive, distro, nics, etc. Thank You, Bill Asher Schultz Design IT Manager www.schultz-design.com -----Original Message----- From: jseymourat_private [mailto:jseymourat_private] Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2001 12:15 PM To: firewall-wizardsat_private Subject: [fw-wiz] Open Source HTTP Proxy for Firewall? Hi, We're using Gauntlet 4.x on for one of our corporate firewalls. We're having a problem with *one* particular web site. For some reason, clients from inside our building trying to use this site are running into all kinds of problems. (The site in question is http://www.abb-control.com if anybody's interested.) Page accesses, "hang", etc. Now I don't know what the problem is with this particular site and Gauntlet's HTTP proxy. Even Netscape 4.76 and wget, running on my Sun SPARC Solaris box here at home, with no HTTP proxy, have problems with it. I've asked in comp.infosystems.www newsgroups. No joy. I got mixed results from a question posted to the gauntlet-users mailing list--but no solutions. Another one of our sites, using T.REX for a firewall, has no problems. (Yet one client in the problem building, when re-config'd to use the HTTP proxy in the other building [across our WAN], had problems. Go figure.) So what I'd like to do is try replacing http-gw on our Gauntlet firewall with another HTTP proxy. Does anybody know of any Open Source HTTP proxies that could be trusted in such a role? I've looked around, but haven't been able to identify a candidate. I'd try replacing http-gw with the generic plug-proxy, but I don't want to lose the Active-X and other filtering that http-gw gives us.
