The '''Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server''' (OiWPS), formerly known as [[Sun Java System]] Web Proxy Server (SJSWPS), is a [[proxy server]] software developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] (since 2010, [[Oracle Corporation]]).

Line 29:

The ''Netscape Proxy Server'' version 3.x was essentially a coupling between the Netscape browser client, responsible for talking to remote servers, and the Netscape web server 4.x, which in turn handled the duty of talking to a client. Support for multithreading was absent, and the Proxy server operated in multi-process mode where each request was handled by a dedicated process.

''Sun Java System Web Proxy server 4.0'' resulted from a major rewrite of ''Netscape Proxy Server'' in 2003-20042003–2004, when Sun decided to reinvest in Proxy technology. Switching to Sun web server 6.1's core architecture brought in support for multi-threading while still allowing users to configure the server for multiple processes when so desired. A brand new http client, admin and installer GUI, and localization were the other major changes involved. 4.0 retained other significant features of 3.x such as the ftp client, gopher client, connect client, batch updates, and so on.

After acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation in 2010, Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0 was rebranded as Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.
