Anonymous

This tag configures the virtual host as an anonymous proxy (also called an implicit or

transparent proxy) or as an explicit proxy.

Description

Both anonymous and explicit proxies intercept and aggregate the clients’ requests to connect

to the origin server. Here are some key differences between anonymous and explicit proxies:

■ The identity (IP address and port number) of an anonymous server is hidden from the

client.

■ The anonymous proxy does not change or modify the routing information in the

incoming URI before connecting the client(s) to the origin server.

■ The URI for an explicit proxy specifies the edge server(s) that will intercept connection

requests to the origin server.

You can create a chain of proxies by specifying them in the URI.

■ Any anonymous proxy in the chain passes on without modification the routing

information in the URI to the next edge server in the chain.

■ The routing information in the URI for a chain of explicit proxies specifies the edge

servers that are chained together to intercept connection requests to the origin server.

■ The routing information in the URI for a chain of explicit proxies specifically identifies

the sequence of edge servers in the chain.

■ The URI for a chain of explicit proxies directs all clients’ connection requests through a

specific sequence of edge servers before making the connection to the origin server.

■ The explicit proxy modifies the routing information in the URI by stripping off its token

or identifier in the URI before passing the URI on to the next server in the chain.

Syntax

<Anonymous>false</Anonymous>

The default value is false. Setting this tag to true creates an implicit proxy to intercept the

incoming URIs.
