Redirecting without curl is nasty, because you need to detect x redirects first and than you need to parse the latest "valid" url. PLUS a redirect would be very unsafe for the hotlinking feature and I think you're unable to trace a lot of your traffic (just imagine someone will do something criminal with your proxies)

I think a redirect would be great in proxies for some users but it has some breakpoints...

EDIT:

maybe an Idea, what if we create the new main page with phproxy and test/get teh real URL and post this current URL to the phproxy script:

create new page called "main.php" the new homepage with all ads etc., test URL if good forward request to index.php as normal)

the page index.inc.php acts only as error page etc. actually this is the same setup as for cgi-proxy...

what do you think (technical) guys?
