Description: web content caching and filtering proxy server
Middleman is a robust proxy server with many features designed to
remove
unwanted content, increase privacy, and to simply make surfing the Web
a more
pleasant experience.
.
Some of the highlights include:
* an intuitive Web interface for configuring the proxy
* banner and popup blocking
* HTTP and FTP content caching
* NTLM and Basic authentication when forwarding through another proxy
server
* regular expression substitution in downloaded files and HTTP headers
* regular expression substitution on requested URLs
* many URL commands to temporarily change the proxy settings or to
view
information about a requested file
* complete support for HTTP/1.1 including persistent connections and
gzip
encoding

Template: middleman/login Type: string Description: What is the login to authenticate with middleman ? For security reason, a login and a password are needed to authenticate with middleman because it can be administered via a web interface by browsing this URL: http://mman. If you keep the login and password fields empty, any user of your system can access middleman configuration. This is a high security risk. The login and the password you are supplying can be read by any user of the system group 'proxy'. So please don't give sensible values like the root password of your system for example.

Template: middleman/port Type: string Default: 8080 Description: Which port number should middleman listen to ? The default configuration of middleman makes it only listen to IP address 127.0.0.1 (also known as localhost) for security reason. You must now enter the TCP port on which middleman will be listening to. Good choices are 8080 and 3128.

authenticate with this web interface. Please note that THE PASSWORD IS WRITTEN
IN CLEAR TEXT in \fI/etc/middleman.xml\fP, and can be read by the user 'proxy',
and by any user from the system group 'proxy'. By default, the proxy
can only be accessed from the localhost IP (127.0.0.1).
