Hi man,

I set up jigsaw as Proxy server sucessfully. Now I have several
questions about custamizing the Proxy server:

1. I used default parameters for starting server. That is like:
-host space -root /export/home/jigsaw........
The problem is when I access the URL: space:8001, it is right as what I
expected. But when I access space.njit.edu:8001(.njit.edu is default
domain for my host), it seems to fall in dead loop: without any replies.
The same situation accured: When I specify space:8001 as my browser's
http proxy server, it is right. But it fails when I specify
space.njit.edu:8001 as my browser's http proxy server.

2. I am trying to add ProcessFilter to my Proxy server. I think the
specification about command of ProcessFilter is not so clear. I only
sucessfully specified UNIX commands without any parameters as
ProcessFilter's external commands. I can not specify a java program as
its external command. e.g. I want to mytest.class as the external
command. I specify
java mytest
as the command of ProcessFilter. But browser tell me command
java mytest
was not found. I am sure the binpath and classpath is all right.

3. If I sucessfully started a java program as ProcessFilter's external
command, how to get Reply message of ProcessFilter at external java
program. I mean I want to modify the Reply content in my java grogram,
and return the modified Reply message back to ProcessFilter.

Thanks,
Qiang
