[jira] Commented: (TS-291) Enable transparent forward proxying

["Joe Chen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-291?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12882081#action_12882081 ] 

Joe Chen commented on TS-291:
-----------------------------

I concur with Alan.  If this Transparent Proxy feature is implemented again, ATS will definitely have a larger foot-print of deployment in the Home Gateway (Home Router, in another name) that need a proxy HTTP caching server.

> Currently ATS provides only explicit forward proxying. It should support this transparently as well.
> Transparent means
> * No configuration on clients.
> * Origin server sees the client IP address as the source address of the cache fill request.
> This should be an option set via configuration variables because transparent proxying is not always the correct mode of operation. In addition, it requires a Linux kernel with TPROXY support and so will not run in all environments.
