This isn't in anyway connected to my project that I've talked about somewhat on here, but more of an exercise in learning the .net package. A few of my fellow students have felt the need to be checking their e-mail from behind a nazi-esque proxy server, AKA 8e6. Now, I'm not thinking malicious with this, but more of a challenge to develop a program to do good...yeah, good.
Now, I was thinking that you could setup a server at home to accept a connection (once again, I don't know much about this, just guesses. It's a bit of an extention to my previous post). A client could take a string for a URL, then pass it right into the URL request system in Java. But, I don't know how the HTML would be passed right back to the client to be loaded.
This might be a far shot. It's probably easier to use a PHP script on a home site to make the requests as a outside proxy. I just think it would be big fun.
