Philtron:a PHP Proxy for HTTP

Philtron is a filtering HTTP proxy, meaning it rewrites the HTML of the
Web pages that pass through it in order to remove dangerous or annoying
Javascript-s, popups and improve the anonymity of the user. It'll be
Different from the existing filtering solutions (most famous example-
Proxomitron, now discontinued) by avoiding Hard-to-understand regular
Expressions as a to filter HTML and would also be extremely user
FRIENDLY-IT is configured directly from the browser, on the fly as
You browse. It's intended for the large audience, one wouldn ' t need
Programming background inorder to use the software.

Philtron is written in PHP, which means it ' s cross-platform and it's
Safe from buffer overflows and similar bugs, which can appear in
Low-level languages (c + +). On the other hand the built-in regular
Expressions make implementing HTTP and parsing incoming and outgoing
Traffic very easy.

The proxy would fully implement http/1.1 protocol, which means it can
Download Web pages and their requisites (images, flash movies etc)
Fast and intelligent, even superior than some of the existing browsers
(For example Internet exlorer doesn ' t use pipelining-one of the
Advanced features of http/1.1 which greatly improves speed on
Image-heavy pages) and would help http/1.0 clients communicate faster
With the http/1.1 servers (for example wget works faster through Philtron).
