Proxy server
A server that provides a cache of files available on remote servers that are slow or
expensive to access. The term "proxy server" normally refers to a World Wide Web
server that, upon receiving a URL, tries to supply the requested file from its cache. If
the proxy server cannot locate the file in its cache, it obtains the file from the remote
server, and saves a copy in its cache so that the next request can be obtained locally.

Raster Graphics

graphics, which represents an image as a geometrical formula. Each row of colored
dots in the mosaic of colored dots constitutes one raster graphic. In a printer, a raster
graphic is used as the master image from which a page is printed. The image is then
transferred to paper by printing one raster at a time.
