Implementing the proxying is the easy part. These are
the hard parts:
1. Full-text indexing all the incoming HTML.
2. Providing a CGI search front-end to this index.
3. Making sure that each user can only access his
own index.
4. Allow the proxy and/or indexer and/or index
and/or search front-end to be on separate machines
so that I can access my index from anywhere,
securely.
Actually, no 2 is fairly easy...
Later,
Kenn
