Web Proxy Filtering (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

The Web proxy calls filtering code each time a request is made on the proxy. The Windows CE implementation of a Web proxy provides a sample proxy filter for implementing parental controls. You can also create a customized Web filter to perform the following tasks:

  • Allow, redirect, and/or block a URL.
  • Disallow Web use during specified times of the day.
  • Block selected IPv4 addresses and/or IPv6 prefixes.

Windows CE exposes an application programming interface (API) that enables you to create a customized Web proxy filter. To configure the filter, the Web proxy user interface (UI) sends an IOCTL to the Web proxy service to perform a specific configuration task. The IOCTLs are handled by the Proxy Service Control, which provides an interface between the Web proxy and Services.exe.

The following table shows the IOCTLs supported by Web Proxy for use in conjunction with the xxx_IOControl (Services.exe) function.

IOCTL Description
IOCTL_SERVICE_START Starts the service.
IOCTL_SERVICE_STOP Stops the service.
IOCTL_SERVICE_REFRESH Starts and stops the service.
IOCTL_SERVICE_STATUS Obtains the status of the service.
IOCTL_SERVICE_NOTIFY_ADDR_CHANGE Notifies the filter that the IP address has changed.
IOCTL_SERVICE_PRX_SIGNAL_FILTER Submits a signal to the proxy filter.

For more information about Services.exe, see Controlling a Running Service.
