Proxy Server Provides functions to store data fetched from remote servers.
When a user request to display a web page that has been displayed and stored in the proxy, the proxy server read the stored data

a URL from a PC, it searches the file in the cache and sends it to the PC if the requested file is found. If the requested file is not
stored in the cache, it accesses the remote server of the URL to acquire the file and, at the same time, stores the acquired file in
the cache so that the proxy server can quickly send the file at the next request.
