Is this not a correct way to set > up? Tomcat does not include a proxy server. You would have to install one on top of it. I am unaware of any Java servlet-based proxy servers. Most proxy servers work at a lower-level because a real servlet container provides a /ton/ of unnecessary features and complexity if all you want to do it proxy requests. > I thought Apache Tomcat already includes Apache. To reiterate André's statement: Apache is the name of an organization. httpd is the web server. Tomcat is the Java servlet container (sometimes called an "application server"). Whoever asked you to "install the Apache Tomcat proxy server" must have also been confused about this relationship. If you are interested in a proxy server implemented in Java, there are some listed here (if you can stomach all the frackin' blinking and animated crap): http://www.roseindia.net/opensource/freeproxyservers.php Squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/) is a popular HTTP proxy if that's all you're looking for. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAknbyPEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAlSQCgwPmYQ6VkWRIkW3Ko0sa8tOyS 5GAAnizQm0F/G+7M3j5qVCEd75O2Ji/L =/Jr/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
