Add jpg gamma or brightness correction while preserving colour saturation

Konstantin — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 01:55:14 -0000

Lots of picture on the web is too dark, especially video screenshots. Would be nice to be able to gamma correct proxied images while preserving their colour saturation, according to this ImageMagick command line: mogrify -colorspace YCbCr -channel R -gamma 1.5 +channel -colorspace sRGB image.jpg

Be able to install Ziproxy on Apple TV. Use a littele bit of power from an always-on low-power device.

"MinSize" for the GZip

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 11:50:52 -0000

"Is there an Option like "MinSize" for the GZip compression?

I have seen in my Logfiles that very small requests became bigger because
of things like Gzip-Headers."

"Note that gzipping is only beneficial for larger resources.
Due to the overhead and latency of compression and decompression,
you should only gzip files above a certain size threshold;
we recommend a minimum range between 150 and 1000 bytes.
Gzipping files below 150 bytes can actually make them larger."

IP logging X-Forwarder-For

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:15:36 -0000

"Well iw as thinking, when putting ziproxy in a proxy chain with squid or other
proxy that use X-ForwardedFor header, i was thinking it is better to use that
IP in log rathern than the src ip in the Layer 3."

Add grayscaler to paletted (8-bit) images

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:28:47 -0000

ConvertToGrayscale supports only 24/32-bit images.
It may also apply to palette images with 8-bit/color (>16 colors) converting the pictures to 8-bit grayscale and supressing the raster buffer.
PNG supports lossless compression of that.

The saving consists of ommiting the CLUT (palette) data (from ~51 to ~768 bytes depending on how many colors were used).

remove NetdTimeout option

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:22:34 -0000

NetdTimeout is quite an useless option, better simply remove that.

add max_connections option

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:20:54 -0000

Add a "max simultaneous connections" (daemon mode-only).
Should be useful for people worried about unpriviledged ulimits.

add quick_abort-like feature

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:45:06 -0000

Basically: closes the host connection immediately if the client closed its connection.
Currently Ziproxy just keeps downloading the file until the internal buffers are full, then the connection eventually timeouts.

add ErrorLog option

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 05:34:15 -0000

Currently the errors are simply dumped to stderr, or not displayed directly (or at all).
Implement an ErrorLog option which, if specified, will dump the error messages to that file instead of stderr.

Errors occuring while the daemon is running may be logged this way and extra error messages may be created, instead of just being silent.

Simplify LogFile parameters

Daniel Mealha Cabrita — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:55:34 -0000

Simplify LogFile parameters.
Remove support for sprintf parameters in LogFile option, for example:

LogFile = "%j-%Y.log"

Will accept only the absolute filename:
LogFile = "blabla.log"

This is an unnecessary feature and may allow vulnerabilities.
