It +translates protocols between clients and servers, merging several +servers into a single server view with aliasing and filtering. Born +as a tiny proxy for Gopher in March 1994, it has steadily grown into a +general purpose proxy server. Besides proxy, DeleGate can be used as a +simple origin server for some protocols (HTTP, FTP and NNTP). |
