Thanks for the fast & detailed reply!

If I skip the the file matcher (at this point I'm not worried about
content filtering), am I right in thinking that plain old HttpProxy
still leverages significant intelligence against my connections?
What sort of attacks does it defend against? (Cross-site scripting?
Really-long URL (GET) requests?)

Mick
