Hi Michele.
The proxy that I am using works a little differently as it does not store anything locally to the box. It works more like a stateful inspection firewall. The request gets sent to the proxy (firewall) and then the proxy checks to see if its ok to send the request out to the "wild." I tried using the LWP:PROXY module which worked fine but I want to manipulate some of the TCP/IP packet information for some experimental purposes in which case the LWP module is not sufficient.
Hopefully this is enough information (and its clear).
Again, any help is appreciated.
