Re: HTTP Redirector: Send To Requested Web Server

Steve, thank so much for the reply.

If within "IE Options -> LAN Settings -> Use A Proxy Server for Your LAN" IS
NOT Checked, All access will be direct.

If the above setting IS checked and pointing to ISA, all access will be
through the proxy server, apart from the sites that are configured for
direct access.

BTW, I loved the phrase "transparently proxying non-proxy HTTP request".

In conclusion, it makes sense for users to have the proxy settings enabled
within their browsers in order to take advantage of the cached content..
Until I disabled the HTTP Redirector, this proxy setting in the browser
would not really have made much difference would it?

Hopefully, I understood.

Thanks,
Stephen
