Crate rws_proxy 

The proxy and operations layer of rust-web-server: reverse proxy, config-driven routes, load balancing, L4 and WebSocket proxies, the admin API, cluster sync, fleet pull, WAF, LLM and A2A gateways, FastCGI, traffic insights.

Internal to rust-web-server, released with it at the same version: use these through the rust_web_server paths, which stay stable; this crate’s own layout may change in any release. See spec/WORKSPACE_SPLIT.md.

Modules

a2a

A2A (Agent2Agent) 1.0 server, JSON-RPC binding (18.17.0, #65): other agents discover this one by its Agent Card at /.well-known/agent-card.json and talk to it with SendMessage, GetTask, ListTasks, CancelTask.

adminNon-WebAssembly

The admin API (18.10.0, #29): change and inspect a running server on a listener of its own, never on the public routes.

canaryNon-WebAssembly

Weighted canary / A-B traffic splitting middleware.

clusterNon-WebAssembly

Runtime state shared across replicas through Redis (18.22.0). Runtime state shared across replicas (18.22.0, #76).

config_check

rws --check: validate rws.config.toml without starting the server — the counterpart of nginx -t / caddy validate.

dev_mcpNon-WebAssembly

app.dev_mcp(): an MCP endpoint for a coding agent (18.28.0). app.dev_mcp(): an MCP endpoint that lets a coding agent look inside the application it is working on — its routes and the middleware around them, its effective configuration (secrets hidden), its layout and rws.app.toml (crate::app_manifest), the last requests and errors, and with a model-* feature its models, database schema and migrations. Since 18.28.0 (roadmap #85, #87). Since 18.29.0 (#88) it also writes code: gen_model, gen_route, gen_migration, gen_test (GEN_TOOLS, crate::generator), unless read-only.

fastcgiNon-WebAssembly

FastCGI client: PHP through php-fpm (18.21.0). FastCGI (18.21.0, #72): PHP through php-fpm, and any other FastCGI responder, without FrankenPHP or a second web server.

fleethttp2 and non-WebAssembly

Fleet config pull: signed configs from HTTPS, S3 or git (18.23.0). Fleet config pull (18.23.0, #80): many instances, one source of truth.

generatorNon-WebAssembly

rws gen model|route|migration|test: code generators for the conventional layout (18.29.0). rws gen model|route|migration|test (18.29.0, roadmap #88): code generators for a project in the conventional layout (crate::app_manifest), as a library — the rws gen command and the dev MCP endpoint’s gen_* tools (crate::dev_mcp) are front ends.

ingressNon-WebAssembly

Kubernetes Ingress watcher and router.

llmNon-WebAssembly

An LLM proxy (18.9.0, #41): one endpoint in front of OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic providers that counts tokens, enforces budgets and fails over between providers.

proxyNon-WebAssembly

Reverse proxy middleware with round-robin load balancing.

proxy_configNon-WebAssembly

Config-driven proxy application.

tcp_proxyNon-WebAssembly

Layer-4 TCP proxy.

traffic

Traffic insights (18.15.0): who visits — people, AI agents, bots — worked out by rws from each request, for the admin UI’s Traffic page.

udp_proxyNon-WebAssembly

Layer-4 UDP proxy.

waf

Web application firewall: rws’s own rules (18.22.0). Web application firewall (18.22.0, #77): rws’s own rules, no rule language to learn and no external engine.

ws_proxyNon-WebAssembly

WebSocket reverse proxy.
