HTTP can be deciphered into HyperText Transfer Protocol, and it acts as an intermediary between you, the user and the site you'd like to access.
Here is what happens to your requests to access a particular site at the moment your HTTP proxy server is in place:
-
Once the user has sent the request to the web page is wanted to visit (which is usually done by clicking on its link) then the web request is not sent directly to that website's server. Instead, it's routed to an HTTP proxy first.
-
After the request is received through the HTTP proxy, it is studied, and the data gathered from it is used to create another request that is then sent to the web server. This is to make it possible to conceal your IP address, so the web server isn't able access your private information;
-
When your HTTP proxy server forwards the HTTP requests to the web server, it's processed by the server that is the intended location so that the answer to the client will be formed;
-
After that you'll receive an response to the web server. It is either opening the targeted site or not permitting you to access it.
