| Hello! I have a task:
We have BizTalk Server. Clients wants to tunnel their HTTP traffic thru
BizTalk.
They want simple to add proxy properties in their browser (proxy is our
server).
Is it possible and how can I do it?
I thins that it must be IIS. BizTalk HTTP adapter on receive port gets
all
requests from clients. Then we send request to send port. This is
clear.
But how it takes page content and get it back to client`s browser?
I don`t know how to do it. 
Great thanks to all who answer!

| Hi jokerku,
Well i think its not a good idea to use Biztalk as a Proxy Server. If
your client really wants to explore the capabilities of Biztalk Server
then i think that it could be done. But remember that each request
coming In/Out will be serialized/deserialized into XML documents and
there will be a lot of processing overhead. And still u will be
required to do lot of HTTP headers processing inside your
orchestration. And in the end i can see you writing .Net code to be
used inside your orchestration.
If you are really interested in creating a Proxy Server then ditch the
idea of using Biztalk and use Sockets in .Net. Or even simpler option
is to use HTTPWebRequest object. Good luck with the development.
Cheers,
Zia

| I would suggest to use a different technology for this purpose, BizTalk is
not your answer here.
When you start saying getting it back to the users browser, I think you need
to fully understand how the http adapter works, I would imagine a little
differently from you might think.
