Don't install Squid - use Privoxy!
Uhhh, you really don't want to install Squid. It's a complete web proxy server, and uses your computer's resources accordingly. This is sorta the reason Privoxy was branched from Squid. It is specifically for proxying connections on a local machine, and in my experience is a lot faster (and easier to setup) than Squid. Before you go installing squid, go take a look at http://www.privoxy.org/ - it is Squid, without the extras that you're not going to use.
Correction...
Sorry, Privoxy was branched from Internet Junkbuster - Authoxy is based on Privoxy...
Correction...
Authoxy is based on Privoxy
It is? As Authoxy's developer I must admit I'm not in total agreement. I'd say closer to 'inspired by' than 'based on' :-) ---
Authoxy & iCal
Could Authoxy be the solution to the iCal publis&subscribe problem ? iCal always tries to use port 80 during publish&subscribe. We have a proxy without authentication but with port 81. So couldn't authoxy redirect iCals request to the correct proxy ? I gave it a shot but so far it didn't work... Anybody an idea for the iCal-problem ?
Authoxy & iCal
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, iCal makes no attempt whatsoever to use the proxy settings in System Preferences. I'm confident, that if one could point iCal at Authoxy, subscribe and publish would work, but as it stands, iCal and Authoxy have no way of knowing about each other. Quite frustrating really, considering so many of Apple's other apps do what one would imagine is the right thing, and pay attention to the user Proxy settings.
How do you add the authentication info to Privoxy?
I can't tell from your correction is you're still suggesting to use Privoxy over Squid. If you are still making this suggestion, how do you add the username and password? From the privoxy docs, it doesn't appear that this is possible.
How do you add the authentication info to Privoxy?
It certainly is possible, at least for HTTP. I imagine for HTTPS also, I've just never had reason to find out. You are right though, it is not obvious from the Docs how one goes about it. |
