fortifynet_proxy 0.1.3

# FortifyNet Proxy

FortifyNet Proxy is a lightweight Rust proxy server designed to provide secure and efficient handling of HTTP requests with basic authentication and resource caching capabilities.

## Features

- Basic HTTP request handling with customizable responses.
- Simple authentication mechanism for user verification.
- Resource caching to optimize performance and reduce bandwidth usage.
- Graceful shutdown mechanism for safe server termination.

## Installation

To use FortifyNet Proxy in your Rust project, add the following line to your `Cargo.toml` file:

```toml
[dependencies]
fortifynet_proxy = "0.1.3"
```
# Usages 

## Custom Port Configuration
```rust
use fortifynet_proxy::start_proxy_server;
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

fn main() {
    // Start the proxy server on custom IP address and port
    let ip_address = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
    let port = 9090;
    start_proxy_server(ip_address, port);
}
```

## Advanced Configuration with Authentication
```rust
use fortifynet_proxy::{start_proxy_server, ProxyConfig};

fn main() {
    // Start the proxy server with advanced configuration
    let config = ProxyConfig {
        ip_address: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        authentication: true,
        username: "admin".to_string(),
        password: "password123".to_string(),
        cache_enabled: true,
    };
    start_proxy_server(config);
}
```

## Customized Resource Cache
```rust
use fortifynet_proxy::{start_proxy_server, ProxyConfig};

fn main() {
    // Start the proxy server with customized resource caching
    let config = ProxyConfig {
        ip_address: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        authentication: false,
        cache_enabled: true,
    };
    start_proxy_server(config);

    // Later, you can manually cache resources using the provided API
    // cache_resource("example.com/image.jpg");
}
```

## Graceful Shutdown Handling
```rust
use fortifynet_proxy::{start_proxy_server, ProxyConfig};

fn main() {
    // Start the proxy server and gracefully handle shutdown
    let config = ProxyConfig {
        ip_address: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        authentication: false,
        cache_enabled: true,
    };
    let server_thread = start_proxy_server(config);

    // Gracefully shutdown the server after 10 seconds
    std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(10));
    server_thread.join().expect("Failed to join server thread");
}
```

- These examples showcase different ways users can configure and use the FortifyNet Proxy API in their Rust applications. Users can customize settings such as IP address, port, authentication, caching, and gracefully handle server shutdown based on their requirements.



# FortifyNet Proxy - Advanced Features
- This section explores the advanced functionalities of FortifyNet Proxy, empowering you to customize and optimize your proxy server for enhanced security and performance.

## Customizable Authentication
- FortifyNet Proxy offers flexible authentication mechanisms to align with your security needs. You can configure custom username and password combinations to enforce secure access control.

```Rust
use fortifynet_proxy::{start_proxy_server, ProxyConfig};

fn main() {
    let config = ProxyConfig {
        ip_address: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        authentication: true,
        username: "admin".to_string(),
        password: "password123".to_string(),
        cache_enabled: true,
    };
    start_proxy_server(config);
}
```

## Resource Caching Strategies
- FortifyNet Proxy enables resource caching strategies to optimize network performance and reduce bandwidth consumption. Implement customizable caching policies for efficient storage and retrieval of frequently accessed resources.

Example:

```Rust
use fortifynet_proxy::{start_proxy_server, ProxyConfig};

fn main() {
    let config = ProxyConfig {
        ip_address: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        authentication: false,
        cache_enabled: true,
    };
    start_proxy_server(config);

    // Manually cache resources (replace with your logic)
    // cache_resource("example.com/image.jpg");
}
```

## Graceful Shutdown Handling
- FortifyNet Proxy provides robust mechanisms for graceful server shutdown, ensuring ongoing connections are completed before termination. Control shutdown behavior to maintain data integrity and user experience.

```Rust
use fortifynet_proxy::{start_proxy_server, ProxyConfig};

fn main() {
    let config = ProxyConfig {
        ip_address: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        authentication: false,
        cache_enabled: true,
    };
    let server_thread = start_proxy_server(config);

    // Gracefully shutdown the server after 10 seconds
    std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(10));
    server_thread.join().expect("Failed to join server thread");
}
```

## Custom Logging and Activity Tracking
- FortifyNet Proxy facilitates customizable logging and activity tracking for effective monitoring of server operations and troubleshooting potential issues. Integrate your logging frameworks or leverage the built-in functionalities.
```Rust
use fortifynet_proxy::{start_proxy_server, ProxyConfig};

fn main() {
    // Configure logging options (replace with your logic)
    // logger::init();

    // Example of setting up a custom logger
    let config = ProxyConfig {
        ip_address: "127.0.0.1".to_string(),
        port: 8080,
        authentication: false,
        cache_enabled: true,
    };
    start_proxy_server(config);
}
```
