Hi 2 all,and here is a problem. There is system (a perl proxy server + 10 parent-proxies) This proxy listens certain address\port and balances traffic between parents. From time to time some of upstream proxies are down. There are a bunch of scripts (black boxes that can't follow redirects) that must get their requested content. Is there a possibility, in case of a certain response, replace a content that supposed to be returned. I mean for example if response is "404":

Detect this event (Done)

Get initial URI (Done)

Return this content through another proxy ( Almost done)

Write returned content to a certain connection while it's open.

I mean if client that supposed to receive 404 error, came from 111.111.111.111:15000, content requested by this client must be returned through another proxy-parent(roundrobin will take care about "return through another parent" part) and written to a 111.111.111.111:15000 socket. Is that possible, and if possible, then how? Thanks in advance to all monks.
