Proxomitron is a free, highly flexible, user-configurable, small but very powerful, local HTTP web-filtering proxy for Windows.

There were two separate releases of Proxomitron 4.5, one in May of 2003 and one in June. There are critical, undocumented differences between them, particularly regarding Proxomitron's handling of remote proxy connections. We encourage you to read the overview of these differences before choosing your download.

Platform: Windows .

How to Install and Un-Install Proxomitron

Unlike many Windows programs which seem to insinuate their way into your system like some parasitic organism, the Proxomitron...

• copies no files to any folders outside its own,
• makes no changes to your system registry,
• and modifies no .ini files.

How to set up your web browser to use the Proxomitron

1. Go to "Tools", "Internet Options", then "Connections."
2. Select the entry for the ISP you use under "Dial-Up Settings" (some cable modem and DSL users may need to click the LAN button if there's no ISP entry)
3. Click "Settings"
4. Next check "Use Proxy Server."
5. Click "Advanced"
6. Under the HTTP and (optionally) the Secure entry, enter "localhost" for host and "8080" for port.
7. Make sure the line that reads "Use same proxy server for all protocols" is NOT checked.
8. Lastly also be sure you don't have proxy autoconfig enabled.

How to Find stream URLs for HTTP and HTTPs streams with Proxomitron

First of all you should stop using any application using Internet HTTP/HTTPS connection. It is not necessary, but by using internet application you can make your research more complicated.

The log window of Proxomitron is used to display useful information about ongoing activity. This includes HTTP/HTTPS header messages sent between your web browser and the Internet, and information on which web page filters matched a particular page. To see them click the "Log Window" button on Proxomitron's main window. Messages are only logged while the log window is open and are lost when the window is closed. This is for efficiency's sake since always logging all information might slow down Proxomitron operations. Log windows messages can however be saved to the windows clipboard - first select the messages then either click the "Copy" option from the log window's "Edit" menu, or press CTRL-INSERT.

Log window messages are color coded:

• Green - Request messages from your browser to the Internet,
• Yellow - Response messages from an Internet web server to your browser
• See the User Guide for more

• User-Agent: This contains information about your web browser and usually your operating system as well.
• Host: Contains the host name of the web page your contacting (as in "www.somewhere.com"). It commonly used by many web servers for "virtual hosting" where the same web server is used for several different sites. Generally leave this one alone.
• Content-Type: Contains the type of data the server is sending, for example "text/html" is used for a web page and "image/gif" for a .GIF file.
• Cookie: contain a line of information originally send by a web server to your browser. Most often they contain some sort of user identification the server uses to tell you apart from other visitors, but the server has to know this information already through other means to create the cookie in the first place.
• Server: Contains the Name and version of the web server. Simply informational and not used by your browser. Sort of the reverse of the "User-Agent" header.
• Content-Location: The URL where the data came from - not always present.

1. Start Proxomitron and Click "Log Window".
2. Go to the browser and start the stream playing.
3. Open the "Log Window" and analyze request and reply headers.
