What is the difference between using CERN httpd proxy server
and SOCKS to run X/Mosaic and other browsers through a firewall?
Which choice allows me to run the widest variety of web browsers
with none or minimal modification? Does there exist
detailed documentation describing these two choices (if
indeed I have even correctly framed this as a choice between
the two options, rather than a combination?)
thanx,
