Description : HTTP proxy daemon with offline browsing support
This my program is debianized with debconf support included; so
including it in debian should not be a big problem. After reading
'joining Debian' i have decided to submit a rfp instead of going
through this complicated procedure.
<p>Smart Cache is full featured proxy cache server. It can
be also used as replacement for your browser's internal diskcache. If you do
it, you will have faster, more anonymous and offline browsing available.
Program is written using Java language, it is reported to run under Windows, Linux, OS/2, MacOs, NetWare.
<p>
Smart Cache can filter URL (for example banners), cache every page (you do
not need to wait when using 'Back' button), cached data are later available for
offline browsing, selective deletion of cached data by size or type
(garbage collection), compress saved pages,
continue loading after you press 'STOP' (if you
return to this page, it will be available without waiting) and create
aliases for your favourite web pages (if you don't like bookmarks).
<p>
Smart Cache prints statistics and you can see how many requests was served
or blocked by it. On most installation Smart Cache hit ratio is 30-50% of traffic.
<p>
It can also increase your privacy by selective cookies filtering,
changing your browser identification and changing value of referring page.
