Definition of WWW Proxy

A WWW Proxy is a server that forwards requests from a community of users to the Internet, and retrieves those documents from the World-Wide Web. WWW Proxies are useful since they can cache documents (and avoid downloading them repeatedly), control access to documents (thus acting as a Content Filter) and scan for Viruses (thus acting as a Virus Wall).
