Manage request processing

When Caching Proxy receives a client request, it performs the action specified in the method field on the object specified in the URL field, if the requested method has been enabled. The proxy server resolves the URL according to a set of mapping rules defined by the administrator. These mapping rules might instruct Caching Proxy to act as a Web server and retrieve the object from the local file system or to act as a proxy server and retrieve the object from an origin server.

This topic describes how to enable methods, define mapping rules, and configure a surrogate proxy server.
