As the HTTP/1.0 standard did not define any 1xx status codes, servers must not [note 1] send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 compliant client except under experimental conditions. 100 Continue The server has received the request headers and the client should proceed to send the request body (in the case of a request for which a body needs to be ...
The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header field is a common method for identifying the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer. The X-Forwarded-For HTTP request header was introduced by the Squid caching proxy server's developers. [citation needed]
HTTP request smuggling (HRS) is a security exploit on the HTTP protocol that takes advantage of an inconsistency between the interpretation of Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers between HTTP server implementations in an HTTP proxy server chain. [1] [2] It was first documented in 2005 by Linhart et al. [3]
Caching of proxy auto-configuration results by domain name in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.5 or newer limits the flexibility of the PAC standard. In effect, you can choose the proxy based on the domain name, but not on the path of the URL. Alternatively, you need to disable caching of proxy auto-configuration results by editing the registry.

A HTTP tunnel can also be implemented using only the usual HTTP methods as POST, GET, PUT and DELETE. This is similar to the approach used in Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP ( BOSH ). A special HTTP server runs outside the protected network and a client program is run on a computer inside the protected network.
At the core of this process is a cache that will proxy all client transactions and will process them through web servers. These ICAP servers are focused on a specific function, for example, ad insertion, virus scanning, multi-AV scanning, content translation, language translation, or content filtering. Off-loading value-added services from web ...
