I am planning to do 'The Implementation of Proxy Server' on C.I would
be thankful to you if you provide any resources which I can use.My
Proxy should work under all protocols..Where do I need to start?I have
just begun reading Richard Stevens(Unix Network Programming).are there
any good resources on the Internet..which I can use?Thanx...

For a good introductory socket programming guide..try "Beej's guide to 
network programming". Its my favorite.

get the source of "rinetd" and change the copyright messages in it ;)

I did not get what you were trying to say..do I need to get the source
of rinetd?and if so.after that what?in what way will that be relevant
to Proxy Servers?I just wanna implement a basic Proxy
Server(firewall,Cache).so.one of the suggestions..I got is to go
through the Beej's Network Programming Tutorial.Any other
Suggestions...are welcome...

Thanx.

Well, you are trying to implement a HTTP-proxy? Or FTP? Or a SOCKS server?
Program rinted performs a sort of proxying,
and the Network Address Translation (NAT) performed by internet-gateways
is a sort of proxy too
This word has different meanings, be more specific...

I am trying to do a HTTP-Proxy.It should contain a Caching mechanism,a
firewall.plz give me some info on where should I start and some
Documentation ...which can guide me.I am comfortable with Borland.
C/C++ programming..That's my ground..now..suggest me something

Your original message said "the proxy should work under all protocols".  
I guess you didn't really mean that?

Anyway, I suggest you get a copy of RFC 2616, the HTTP specification.  
Search for "proxy" to find all the special considerations that proxy 
servers have to make.
