Hello Monks,

I want to write a web service that routes HTTP requests via a proxy server. What should the web request looks like that is sent to the proxy server please? Is there an HTTP standard that identifies the target URL?

many thanks in advance

Edit: I think I get it. I need to create a message that looks like this and send it to the proxy server:

GET http://targetUrl.com
Host: targetUrl.com
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.
+8
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
[download]

Am thinking I can just use LWP user agent to create these requests.
