Hi everybody.

We are studying how to accelerate the HTTP traffic. In fact we wanted to work with a UMTS-3G connection but the Linksys G3G is still in a WIP status.
First of all we wanted to change the HTTP headers in order to reduce the size of the packets on the net. Do you know if there is a module which capture the HTTP packets??
I've thought about some kind of proxy but I'm not quite sure...

(we wanted to eliminate the profile characteristics like : ACCEPT MIME...  ACCEPT text\plain... because we are supposing that we are going to have a Server with all the profiles on it, and it will be this server which will restore all the headers before sending to the Inet Server)

Thanks for reading!!

Hi mate!

I've used ethereal in a development lab...that's a good idea!!!
But do you know if there is a Ethereal packet for our WRT??
