    Proxy All outgoing HTTP requests

    Hi,

    I have an application which sends an HTTP GET request to a Webserver to recover data. I want to send this request through a proxy. However, the application does not have a built-in proxy option. So my question is... Can I somehow, 'catch' this HTTP request, send it to a proxy, and then send the HTTP response of the proxy back to the application? Is there some sort of way to do this for all outgoing HTTP requests? Whether they have a built-in option or not? This has to be done on a Windows Operating machine.

    Thanks in advance,

    This is a common setup in a medium to large business for compliance purposes. You can set up a proxy in your own network that has all outgoing connections sent to it to be filtered or logged for whatever reason. This should be it's own device (separate physical hardware from any user's workspace).

    You can look at sourceforge.com or freshmeat.net for proxy packages to be installed on both Windows and Linux systems.
