How to send data from device to remote server?

How do I use proxy server to compress data being sent and received?

  • So what I want to do is develop an app for android or any mobile os which will connect to a proxy server. The job of the proxy server will be to compress all the possible http data and send it to server and get data compress it and send it to the device. The app will collect this data and uncompress and send it to respective locations. So what I am looking is compression and server side and uncompression at client side. There is already an app in android market called onavo extend. I was hoping to develop a same app for my project.

  • Answer:

    You can optimize internet traffic in two ways: Server-side: install a compressing, forwarding proxy server, e.g. http://ziproxy.sourceforge.net/ or https://github.com/mozilla/node-janus Client-side: connect all traffic through your proxy and use http://github.com/niutech/polipoid as a local caching proxy for Android. Alternatively, set up a VPN server compressing all traffic to your client, leveraging  e.g. Fast LZO or MPPC.
