philtrum什么牌子（Philtron: a PHP Proxy for HTTP）

Philtron is a filtering HTTP proxy, meaning it rewrites the HTML of the

web pages that pass through it in order to remove dangerous or annoying

javascript-s, popups and improve the anonymity of the user. It will be

different from the existing filtering solutions (most famous example -

Proxomitron, now discontinued) by avoiding hard-to-understand regular

expressions as a way to filter HTML and will also be extremely user

friendly - it is configured directly from the browser, on the fly as

you browse. It is intended for the large audience, one wouldnt need

programming background inorder to use the software.

Philtron is written in PHP, which means its cross-platform and its

safe from buffer overflows and similar bugs, which can appear in

low-level languages (c/c++). On the other hand the built-in regular

expressions make implementing HTTP and parsing incoming and outgoing

traffic very easy.

The proxy will fully implement HTTP/1.1 protocol, which means it can

download web pages and their requisites (images, flash movies etc)

fast and intelligent, even superior than some of the existing browsers

(for example Internet Exlorer doesnt use pipelining - one of the

advanced features of http/1.1 which greatly improves speed on

image-heavy pages) and will help http/1.0 clients communicate faster

with the http/1.1 servers (for example wget works faster through Philtron).
