A simple reverse proxy, to be used with Hyper.

The implementation ensures that Hop-by-hop headers are stripped correctly in both directions, and adds the client's IP address to a comma-space-separated list of forwarding addresses in the X-Forwarded-For header.

The implementation is based on Go's httputil.ReverseProxy.

Example

Add these dependencies to your Cargo.toml file.

[dependencies]
hyper-reverse-proxy = "0.3.0"
hyper = "0.12.24"
futures = "0.1"

The following example will set up a reverse proxy listening on 127.0.0.1:13900, and will proxy these calls:

"/target/first" will be proxied to http://127.0.0.1:13901
"/target/second" will be proxied to http://127.0.0.1:13902
All other URLs will be handled by debug_request function, that will display request information.

fn debug_request(req: Request<Body>) -> BoxFut {
let body_str = format!("{:?}", req);
let response = Response::new(Body::from(body_str));
Box::new(future::ok(response))
}

fn main() {

// This is our socket address...
let addr = ([127, 0, 0, 1], 13900).into();

// A `Service` is needed for every connection, so this
// creates one from our `hello_world` function.

let remote_addr = socket.remote_addr();
service_fn(move |req: Request<Body>| { // returns BoxFut
