Questions tagged [http-proxy]

An HTTP Proxy is a server that receives requests from your web browser and then makes the request to the Internet on your behalf. It then returns the results to your browser.

A proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.

A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available from a different server and the proxy server evaluates the request as a way to simplify and control its complexity.

Today, most proxies are web proxies, facilitating access to content on the World Wide Web.

Do HTTP proxy servers modify request packets?

Is any request header added or modified to the HTTP request before forwarding to the server by a proxy server? If so, are the changes done to the same packets, or are the contents used to create new request packets with the modifications?
