Now compatible with Firefox 3.0
httProxy is a simple Firefox extension using which you can open any web page via Web Based Proxy Server (also known as CGI Proxy Servers).
Currently, it supports three types of cgi proxies (examples provided to access http://abc.com/xyz, via cgiproxy.com):
- Anonymizer Style (the target web page can be simple appended to the url; like http://cgiproxy.com/?http://abc.com/xyz)
- NYUD Style (a server name is appended to the domain part of the URL and the remaining url comes after the proxy url; like http://abc.com.cgiproxy.com/xyz)
- PkBlogs Style (This one only supports accessing blogspot.com by appending the blogname to http://www.pkblogs.com/, so accessing my blogspot blog would be done using: http://www.pkblogs.com/ovaiskhan)
This extension is motivated by the desire to provide
an easy work-around
the blockade of blogspot blogs by Pakistan
Telecommunication
Authority (PTA) - Pakistan's Internet and Telecommunication
regulatory
authority. If you like the extension, please digg this
story: Blogspot.com_Censored_in_Pakistan,
in the hope that the government hear our voice and reverse the block.
Future Plans (For more detailed plan view change log)
- Migrating project to Mozdev
- Supporting Coral CDN style proxies
- Support for hash style proxies
- Automatically access configured sites using proxy
- User defined list of proxies
- New Icon (I would request anyone good at graphics to help me in this regard)
