SPS

Introduction

Super Proxy System is the combination of a proxyserver and a mailserver. SPS was designed with three goals in mind.

• Automatically fill in the form
• Provide all kinds of filters such as cookies monster and pop-up windows killer.

SPS achieves these goals by analyzing the request and response messages between the client and remote server. An inner database is maintained to remember the individual user's information. A mailserver is built together with the proxyserver to reply the confirmation emails, which is required sometimes by the websites.

SPS can be used in a local area network or in a personal computer.

Installation

This section describes how to build and install the SPS on your system.

Requirements

SPS is developed in Java. So jsdk 1.4 is required to be installed before installing SPS. It is available for download free of charge here. Be sure to direct the Path variable to the directory containing java utilities.

Building SPS

Once you have setup your system as described in Requirements, you are ready to build SPS.
Download the proper installation file according to your operating system. Then install SPS by the instructions in the readme file.

Problems building SPS

The following are two common problems:

• The most common problem you will encounter is caused by java utilities. You may get the error information that says there is no javac or java. It is because the user has not configured the path variable correctly. Path variable configuration is different in various operating systems. Users can ask your system administrator or check the related books.
• Port can not be bound to the port 8080. Then you can add one port number as the argument to the end of the java command.

Getting started

After you install and set up SPS in your computer, you should configure proxy setting in your browser as follows:

• Internet Explorer(IE)
  Tool->Internet Options->Connection->Setting(Dialup)->Proxy->check the box->Advanced->HTTP: 127.0.0.1, Port:8080
• Mozilla/Netscape
  Edit->Preference->Advanced->Proxy->HTTP: 127.0.0.1, Port:8080

Now get connected to the internet and enjoy SPS
