Configuring a caching proxy server
Because the Firebox’s HTTP proxy does no content cach-
ing, the Firebox has been designed to work with caching
proxy servers. Because company employees often visit the
same Web sites, this greatly speeds operations and reduces
the load on external Internet connections. All Firebox
proxy and WebBlocker rules that are in place still have the
same effect.
The Firebox communicates with proxy servers exactly the
same way that clients normally do. Instead of a GET
request from the Firebox to the Internet looking like this:
GET / HTTP/1.1
It ends up looking like this, and the request is sent to the
configured caching proxy server instead:
