Download Philtron 0.2.5

Philtron is an HTTP proxy written in PHP and therefore platform independent. The purpose of this proxy is to filter out unwanted and malicious code, and to improve the anonymity of the surfer. In addition, the developers strive for an extremely user-friendly, web-based interface. The project has only recently started and Philtron is still in alpha status. The changelog for this release looks like this:

0.2.5

• [fetcher.inc.php] Fetcher sockets are now non-blocking. This means that trying to connect to an non-responding server wouldn’t stop the whole proxy, and that we can measure timeouts for sockets with pending connections
• More (almost all) socket stuff moved to http_connection.inc.php
• [local_requests.inc.php] Now supports headers set from the php script.

0.2.4

• [local_requests.inc.php] Basic CGI capabilities and local files serving. We can run other .php scripts (only GET queries for now)
• [mod_blocklist.inc.php] Modifier for blocking hosts based on a blocklist file (blocklist.ini)
• [http_response.inc.php] When we can’t tell message length in HTTP/1.1 (due to buggy server implementations), assume “Connection: Close”
• All clients, fetchers and rrpairs have unique IDs for debugging purposes.
• The listening server socket is now non-blocking (but still it sometimes fails to accept a connection

0.2.3

• [client.inc.php] CHTTPClientConnection renamed to CProxyClient.
• Multiple cookies are now handled properly
• Many many things I’m too lazy to list
