Ok, I've got questions...
First, I can't get http://https..www.google.com to work, nor
http://https//www.google.com, nor
http://https-px-www.google.com - now that one I read something about a filter, which I didn't get either.

Then there's this - with ssl enabled, my browser says google's cert seems invalid since it's for Proxomitron... The only option is/was "get me out of here". Obviously I missed the boat somewhere.

Now the big question, how exactly does "cache server" work? For example, gmail. The buttons don't change, but the messages do. So, does Proxomitron issue the buttons from cache and download the messages? Or does it download everything every time? Are all cache servers/proxies the same? This is important to me because I have an extra, extra s l o w internet connection. Sometimes it takes days for google to come in. (That's even before I search for anything.) Ok, maybe not days, but it sure feels like it.

The Proxomitron's URL based commands must be enabled and the browser must accept the format.

A filter is required for this to work.

If the browser knows https is being used, you will probably need to set it to allow the mismatch. How depends on the browser.

ProxHTTPSProxyMII is probably the best solution for Firefox.

The Proxomitron is not a caching server... Still interested?

Ok, you're right, I didn't get that - URL based commands must be enabled - so, I did do that, but which browsers "accept" the format? Obviously I'm still missing the boat.

And which filter would that be? (Somebody just post a link to where it's already explained here... If I knew what to search for, I would already have found it...)

And how to "set" it to allow the mismatch? You may assume ie and Firefox. Should I be using something different for use with Proxomitron?

And finally, could anyone recommend a cache server - I still have the s l o w problem. And when I do get one, I would assume Proxomitron would be "next" to the internet and the cache server "next" to my lan? Of course piped together...

Thank you guys for your patience with me. I already like the program, but I want it all, not just some parts. And it has so much to offer...

Smile!
