Re: LSP HTTP redirecting

You have to simulate the connection.
In WSPSend you have access to the data that is being passed over the net,
that means all the HTTP traffic ( GET/POST/etc ) is vizible to you.

If you want to redirect the browser write proxy server.
If you want the browser to display HTML from the other server then requested
in the browser UI you have the following options:
- in the LSP open connection with the needed server and exchange traffic
with it, WSPReceive will return data from your server, however browser will
think that it is the server it requested.
To make browser think that there is no proxy, connect his socket to your
own ( internal, will reside in the LSP )
The chain will look like this Browser -> Socket -> lspSocket ->
otherLspSocket -> yourServer.
- create BHO ( browser helper object ) this approach is valid only for IE.
