The client is configured to use P1 as a proxy server. Typically, the proxy can be configured to:

  • Connect to the origin server and proxy the requested content to the client.

  • Redirect the client to an alternate origin server. For more information, see URL Redirection.

  • Redirect the client to an alternate proxy server. For more information, see Proxy Redirection.

  • Stream the content from cache.
