"...try it yourself"

OK, why not. This is always the best. But it only works like this:

cpan>notest force install HTTP::Proxy::Engine::NoFork
....
Appending installation info to C:\Perl\lib/perllocal.pod
  BOOK/HTTP-Proxy-0.26.tar.gz
  C:\Perl\site\bin\dmake.exe install  -- OK

Without notest force it freezes.

Perl is v5.14.2 (ActivePerl) on XP SP3.

It seem to work...

Now set a copy of it running and go into your browser and configure it to use the proxy.

Then go to somewhere like youtube and navigate your way around a bit; watch a couple of videos and stuff. Still working?

The try your favorite ajax-heavy site -- gmail or similar. Still working?

While you're at it, try it with HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Threaded, more children is like more forks

"Still working?"

Yet another good question. I'll try this.

Not really. youtube works as well as heise.

But telekom is broken.

Very often i get [Tue Feb 26 12:29:10 2013] (1080) ERROR: Getting request failed: Client closed from the proxy script and a message in firefox that the proxy rejects that connection - from a arbitrary page.

And performance is bad. It seems that it lasts very much longer that a page is rendered as without the proxy.

#!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTTP::Proxy;
my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new();
$proxy->port(3128); 
$proxy->start;
