How can I hide proxy headers?

RouterOS General
1

Hi,
How can I hide proxy headers for v4.0b3 or v3.24?

HTTP_VIA=1.1 192.168.103.254 (Mikrotik HttpProxy)
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR=192.168.103.22
HTTP_X_PROXY_ID=2048360444

no way

3

yeah that would be nice to edit squid.conf

4

I think, it’s not about Squid but about RouterOS Web-Proxy

5

do you mean, routerOS web-proxy is not squid ?

6

it was squid in 2.9.x, 3.x uses mikrotik proxy :slight_smile:

7

that is brave,really,making own proxy server when there is a real cool one.
then we should be waiting for some unexpected cool features =]

8

umm, most of RouterOs features are made by Mikrotik. so you want to say - it’s brave to make our own OS :slight_smile: ?

9

indeed i do!
using squid is easy/safe, modifying it,is still OK, but writing own… :smiley:

10

You mean like Gmail complaining of not cacheing cookies if you go trough Mikrotik proxy and alike? Is there a way to properly handle those cookies?

nejc

11

if i knew it,it wouldn’t be unexpected :sunglasses:

12

Thanks for all replies…

Maybe we can use this feature next releases :slight_smile:

Any news about this topic?

Some websites checking http_x_forward headers. My some clients cant connect to this websites.

14

can or will it 1 day be able to cache video streams like squide


can mikrotik add this to there proxy?

15

squid can’t do it. some hacks are required, which break HTTP standards. we could look into it, but it’s a mess.

look what is written on the Squid docs site:

Some private modifications of squid have apparently achieved youtube.com caching. However, there is presently no simple solution available to the general public.

To cache youtube.com files, you will need to enable caching of dynamic content and some other measures, which technically break the HTTP standards.

BUT!!! THER IS A PLUGGIN!


VideoCache - Cache Videos Using Squid

Videocache is a Squid URL rewriter plugin written in Python for bandwidth optimization while browsing famous video sharing portals/websites like Youtube, Metacafe etc. It helps you save bandwidth when a particular video is requested more than once from the same network/machine.

Squid can not cache the videos served dynamically. Videocache fits into squid to help it cache the videos as well. The cached videos are stored on your server’s local hard disk and you can browse them as if you downloaded them. You can copy them to other machines as well.


HERE IS A LINK

I know, but read AGAIN what I posted. It breaks HTTP standards and is not official. Plus, we don’t use squid anyway, we would have to make our own HTTP breaking thing.

18

becouse its simple

to work with!
there is one other thing with webproxy in version 3.27
