Please Help on a Programming Problem!

[Chong Yu Meng]

Is your software functioning as a proxy ? If you're looking for proxy 
software that can block addresses, I think even squid does that, not to 
mention commercial proxy servers from Microsoft and Cisco.

If your software is meant to act on a browser level, one idea that comes 
to mind is to implement it as a piece of software that intercepts 
incoming http responses and checks the content against some kind of 
algorithm (example: a lot of flesh tones ? Must be pornography, 
therefore block) or a look-up table of banned websites.

How are you going to implement that software ? I really don't know. I 
have to admit that I am very much against any kind of censorship or 
spyware software, such as what you are proposing.

Maybe someone else can help you with this.

pascal chong
