actix-proxy

A rust library for the actix-web framework. Sometimes you want to implement a gateway or proxy which makes a request to some remote service and simply forwards it to the client that made the request to the proxy (in case you do not wish to or cannot return a redirection to the remote location). actix-web provides the actix_web::client::Client for making Http requests from your runtime. Unfortunately, actix_web::client::ClientResponse does not implement the Responder trait, making it hard to simply forward the response from the remote location, through the proxy to the client. This library provide the IntoHttpResponse trait which transforms a ClientResponse into a HttpResponse. With this trait, all you need to do is call .into_http_response() on your ClientResponse to forward the response from the remote service back to the client.
