no, it's an *intercepting* proxy. Looking to RFC 2616, the
transparent proxy
is defined this way:
A "transparent proxy" is a proxy that does
not modify the request or
response beyond what is required for proxy
authentication and
identification. A "non-transparent proxy" is
a proxy that modifies
the request or response in order to provide some added
service to
the user agent, such as group annotation services,
media type
transformation, protocol reduction, or anonymity
filtering.
I know that many ppl call intercepting proxy a
"transparent" proxy, but
that's incorrect.
... we are talking about HTTP protocol, aren't we?
