Transparent Proxies very often *do* reply with a "Via:" line... but there are exceptions. It can even vary between the software version releases for a given platform (Cisco's Cache Engine product is an example of this). It is probably safe to say though that if you get an answer that contains a "Via" to the above http request, then you have a transparent proxy.... if you don't get such an answer... you still might :-) -- Joshua Jensen joshua@xxxxxxxx "If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?"
