Open Source HTTP Proxy for Firewall?

[jseymour () LinxNet com (Jim Seymour)]

Hi,

We're using Gauntlet 4.x on for one of our corporate firewalls.

We're having a problem with *one* particular web site.  For some
reason, clients from inside our building trying to use this site are
running into all kinds of problems.  (The site in question is
http://www.abb-control.com if anybody's interested.)  Page accesses,
"hang", etc.  Now I don't know what the problem is with this particular
site and Gauntlet's HTTP proxy.  Even Netscape 4.76 and wget, running
on my Sun SPARC Solaris box here at home, with no HTTP proxy, have
problems with it.  I've asked in comp.infosystems.www newsgroups.  No
joy.  I got mixed results from a question posted to the gauntlet-users
mailing list--but no solutions.

Another one of our sites, using T.REX for a firewall, has no problems.
(Yet one client in the problem building, when re-config'd to use the
HTTP proxy in the other building [across our WAN], had problems.  Go
figure.)

So what I'd like to do is try replacing http-gw on our Gauntlet
firewall with another HTTP proxy.  Does anybody know of any Open Source
HTTP proxies that could be trusted in such a role?  I've looked around,
but haven't been able to identify a candidate.  I'd try replacing
http-gw with the generic plug-proxy, but I don't want to lose the
Active-X and other filtering that http-gw gives us.


Thanks In Advance,
Jim
