How to Develop a Proxy Server

How to Develop a Proxy Server thumbnail
A proxy server is a computer that serves two simultaneous networks.

A proxy server is a computer that serves two simultaneous networks. From the inter-connectivity provided, resources from one network are available to the other network using the proxy server. A proxy server not only assists in accessing blocked websites, it also enables users to access websites without disclosing their server identities. A proxy server is usually set up to route network traffic requests for web pages. This ensures server security.

Instructions

    • 1

      Download a WebSphere application server software from the Internet and install it on the computer. Open the WebSphere application and select the "Servers" option. From the dialog box that opens, select the "Proxy Servers" option. In the event that a proxy server's entry does not show up, you can verify the activity using a WebSphere Application Server V6.0.2. This helps to launch the server augmentation command.

      Select "Next" and enter the requisite node destination for the proxy server. Select "Support Protocols." Support protocols comprise of HTTP and SIP protocols, which are readily available. If the proxy server being developed is expected to route requests to and from a web container, select the "HTTP" protocol. If the proxy server being developed is destined to route requests to and from a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) container, select "Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)."

      Set up node settings and select an appropriate server template. This forms the base for the developed proxy server.

    • 5

      Select the "Next" option from the dialog box. To save on time, map onto an existing proxy server. Select the "Finish" option. This ushers in a functional proxy server for routing HTTP and SIP requests.
