[proxyTools-users] Another Useful Feature For the WishList

Proxybuster

This is a useful service I have come across. Unfortunately that URL is
currently blocked by Superscout so I am accessing it through my CGI
proxy. Superscout currently blocks all files with extensions .zip, .exe
etc...... This very simple proxy simply renames the file .tmp or .txt
etc and you rename it when you have received it - very useful for me for
getting localproxy updates of hosts.zip.

Obviously if I am the only person who wants it its probably not worth
putting any effort into integrating into localproxy but its a neat
little service that I use...

ProxyBuster is a unique feature which allows you to retrieve files from
Web and FTP servers on the Internet even when your local LAN proxy
server or firewall restricts access to these sites.

Paste the complete URL (including the http:// or ftp://) in the URL
field below. We will connect to the URL, retrieve the file requested,
and return this file to you with a temporary filename. (It's highly
unlikely that your local proxy or firewall will filter this out.) After
you download the file, rename the file to its original name.

NOTE: Do not use this product to download malicious or unauthorized
content! You should always adhere to the computer and technology
policies of the organization which provides you with your Internet
connection. We assume no responsibility for those who use this tool.

By default, .tmp is used as a file extension. However, a few different
possible extensions are available via the popup menu below if your proxy
blocks out certain types of files. Be sure to rename the file extension
after downloading!
