Co-Advisor can test HTTP intermediaries and ICAP servers. Co-Advisor/HTTP can test virtually all HTTP intermediaries that accept HTTP queries, forward misses to specified origin servers, and relay the responses back to Co-Advisor clients. For example, forward caching proxies, reverse proxies or surrogates, various filters and firewalls, or origin server load balancers with a VIP. Users were able to test transparent (a.k.a., TCP hijacking) proxies as well. HTTP/1.0 intermediaries are supported though they will fail or violate version-dependent test cases, naturally. Co-Advisor/ICAP can test any ICAP server. Co-Advisor sends ICAP requests to the server and inspects server responses. REQMOD and RESPMOD URLs can be configured by the user, depending on the ICAP server requirements.
