Abstract

In this paper, we present the state of the art in the field of programmability in HTTP proxies. In particular, we first deal with programmability and show how it is a crucial requirement to easily realize and assemble edge services that can enhance the quality and the user perception of the navigation into a crowded and confusing World Wide Web. Then, we compare some of the most used HTTP proxies to provide an analysis of their programmability and, finally, show some evidence of successful edge services realized on top of existing programmable HTTP proxy frameworks.
