    How about an html proxy that could be tought to  trip on webbugs, spam, cookies, url's used for tracking, tracing and counting etc. ... 
    A simple page could be shown when a page is quarantined. This page might contain a button to do a reclassify en reload of the original page.

      That is "scope creep"!  Look at Privoxy (sf.net project ijbswa).  Works great!

        I'm using privoxy, and indeed it *is* a great application, ... until you want to change it's behaviour. You need to know perl regular expressions to understand *and* change it's behaviour. Take a look at the endless seeming lists of filters, it didn't make me happy at all :-S
        Therefore I just use Privoxy as is, in the best case I change behaviour for a whole domain/server, but it just is too difficult en complex to manage separate pages etc. on a single domain.

        Then again maybe I should post the idea of using Bayes filtering in a privoxy list, but hadn't found Privoxy by the time I wrote my initial message here. :-)

      Writing a HTML-Proxy is quite trivial, you only need the HTTP::Proxy module.

      Making up a transparent proxy is a bit harder because you'll have to hack the Perl-Module to make it work. I'll try to send in a patch to the module author these days...

      If you need an example on how to use HTTP::Proxy send me an email. I'm currently playing around with my "mad proxy" which INSERTS all kinds of stuff in web-pages and even encodes them with ROT13 (still buggy).
