Re: Web filtering

Thanks for the info, but I cannot afford Solaris and really don't care to
use it anyway, and won't be caught alive using NT for anything mission
critical. :-)

I have found a simple Linux proxy server that allows me to "pipe" HTTP
requests through a "userspace" filter--such as sed or something. I will
likely write a simple filter myself to use with that proxy.
