Hi, I am currently doing a project to remove the dependency on a web server of dansguardian if anyone has any tips or points either on sections of code I need to modify or about how to build a very very simple web server. I would be very appreciative
Thanks..
Remove dependency on a web server? It has none. Did you mean proxy?
The only way to remove it's dependency on a proxy would be to build an entire proxy into it. Don't bother. There's really no point.
yes it has. to display the output of the blocked webpages. I know it seems pointless but its a project.
No, it doesn't. It's a proxy filter, that can modify the pages that pass through it however it wants. When it wants to block a page, prints the block page instead of whatever the page was. No web server required or used, except the one that's being accessed through it.
DansGuardian has a few requirements. It requires Squid for the web proxy, and it requires a web server like Apache.

Also:
The server is used to display a cgi perl script that gives the user notification of an 'Access Denied'.
