NAME

       simpleproxy - Simple tcp socket proxy

SYNOPSIS

       simpleproxy  [-7]  [-v]  [-V] [-d] [-i] [-u] -P <POP3 users file> -L [<local host>:]<local
       port> -R <remote host>:<remote port> [-S <proxy host>:<proxy port>]

DESCRIPTION

       The simpleproxy program acts as a simple tcp proxy. It opens  listening  socket  on  local
       machine and forwards any connection to the remote host.

OPTIONS

       simpleproxy accepts following options:

       -V      Version information.

       -v      Makes simpleproxy to write activity information to syslog or stderr.

       -7      Makes simpleproxy to strip 8th bit.

       -i      Use this flag when starting simpleproxy from INETD.

       -d      By default simpleproxy does not detach itself from control terminal and writes all
               messages to stderr. This option will detach it from terminal  and  make  it  write
               messages to  syslog.

       -L [<local host>:]<local port>
               Local host and port name or number to bind for listening. Host name is optional.

       -R <remote host>:<remote port>
               Remote host and port name or number

       -P <POP3 users list>
               If  specified,  simpleproxy  will  load list of users from the <filename> (one per
               line). After this it will be forwarding POP3 sessions only  if  client  trying  to
               authenificate as this user.

       -S <proxy host>:<proxy port>
               HTTPS proxy server host and port name or number.

       -a <HTTPS Auth User>:<HTTPS Auth Password>
               Authenticate  to  the HTTPS proxy server with the given userid and password.  This
               option performs BASIC HTTP authentication as specified in RFC 2617.  Used only  in
               conjunction with -S.

       -A <HTTP Auth User>:<HTTP Auth Password>
               Requires  HTTP  proxy  authentication.   Client  browser  must supply username and
               password to use this proxy.  This option performs  BASIC  HTTP  authentication  as
               specified in RFC 2617.

       -u      URLs of visited pages are emitted on stdout.  It is used for logging or for remote
               lecturing, if the output is redirected to a remote command that change  a  dynamic
               web  page,  it is possible to synchronize all the learner web browsers to the same
               page visited by the instructor.  (see the "simple  remote  lecturing"  project  on
               sourceforge).

       -t <trace file>
               If specified, simpleproxy will dump all data that passes through connection to the
               specified file.

BUGS

       Only tcp ports are supported.
