Description of Working Group:
-----------------------------
The World Wide Web (WWW) infrastructure has a well-defined protocol interface
between the web client/browser and web server. This infrastructure includes
the use of proxies and proxy caches located in between the client and the
server. While the benefits of proxies and proxy caches are not the subject of
controversy, manual configuration is required to inform the web client of the
proxy's presence, limiting voluntary adoption.
Proxies and proxy caches perform more than simple client request interception
and processing; they may also mirror content or perform request routing
between structured collections of proxies. There is no "one size fits all"
proxy structure and thus there is a need to define and develop an architecture
for heterogenous proxy structures to internetwork.
The goal of this working group is to define and specify solutions in the
following areas:
- Proxy architecture and requirements,
- Proxy autodiscovery protocols and mechansims,
- Security scenarios for proxies and proxy caches.
