WHAT IS WEBMIRROR ?

stored on a compact database on the local hard drive and can be viewed
off-line using the internal HTTP proxy server.
WHO CAN USE WEBMIRROR ?
WebMirror can be used by network administrators to provide access to
frequently-used web site to their corporate intranets or to provide secure web
browsing to selected web sites without the needs of expensive firewalls,
routers and internet connections.
WebMirror can also be used by CDROM makers to dump entire web sites on
CDROM without worrying about editing web pages to reflect the local storage
organization and limitations, the pages are retrieved directly from the
original web site and stored in a standard 8+3 database file.
WebMirror is also useful to privates who don't want to spend money
reading the page's contents on-line, they can retrieve an entire site or even
a portion of it then disconnect and enjoy reading without worrying about the
phone bill going to the stars.
WHAT IS NEEDED TO RUN WEBMIRROR ?

WebMirror too.
In addition, if your computers are connected to a LAN you can browse
the stored web pages from other workstations running OS/2, Windows,
MacOS and all flavors of UNIX, provided you are running a TCP/IP stack
and a web browser on these workstations too.

and allow only one user to be connected to the HTTP proxy server at any time.
