Smart Cache is a full-featured proxy caching server and web forwarder written entirely in 100% pure Java (Java 1.1 or later is required). Smart Cache was inspired by two most popular caches - modern Squid and old but good CERN httpd (a very few people uses CERN today). Smart Cache gets only ideas from this program, no source code is really used (there are both written in C). Smart Cache has been primarily written as a my Personal Proxy Cache. This Personal Proxy Cache replaces your internal browser cache and offers some extra features. But this does not means that this program is limited, you can use it without problems for caching the whole network or as a nowadays very popular web forwarding (web accelerator) or transparent proxy.
I have got a very nice following summary of Smart Cache's main features by email.
First I like to say you've done a great job with SCache. It does not only anonymize me, like many other programs, it's main feature, the cache, is a great thing not only for speeding up surfing but also for offline browsing. I use it under OS/2 and under Windows without any problems.
Why is this great for dial-up users? Because you can:
Smart Cache works even if you are off line. You get the best OFF LINE browsing ever seen! Why?
