transproxy - transparently proxy HTTP requests.
This program is used with ipfw's fwd rules or Darren Reed's IPFILTER
package, and is used to intercept HTTP requests and divert them to a
HTTP proxy server (eg: squid), without requiring user intervention or
configuration.
It accepts connections on the redirected port, connects to the real proxy
server, and transports data between the two sockets. The original HTTP
request is modified to allow the HTTP proxy server to fetch the correct
document. In most cases this doesn't cause any DNS activity.
Unlike some other transparent proxy solutions, this does not require the
HTTP proxy server to run on the machine itself.
See /usr/local/sbin/tproxyrun for an example of how to add filter rules
and start tproxy. Also see /usr/local/sbin/tproxywatch for an example of
how to ensure that tproxy keeps running regardless of faults.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
