Ziproxy is forwarding, non-caching, compressing HTTP proxy server. Basically it squeezes images by converting them to lower quality JPEGs and compresses (gzip) HTML and other text-like data. Ziproxy also provides other features such as: HTML/JS/CSS optimization, preemptive hostname resolution, transparent proxying and more.
Ziproxy is an option when dealing with low-bandwidth cases like: ISPs providing dialup services, ISPs providing mobile internet services, Low bandwidth (or saturated) point-to-point connections in general.
Ziproxy operates in daemon mode. It also may be invoked by (x)inetd if desired (not recommended for performance reasons). Ziproxy is HTTP/1.1-aware and compatible with HTTPS.
