reverse-proxy

Reverse HTTP Proxy

Features

  • HTTP reverse proxy (GET/POST)

  • WebSockets

  • VirtualHosts (JSON/DBI)

  • Loadbalancer

  • SSL

Installation

$ cpan App::rhttp

Configuration

$ rhttp.pl -add vhost:dsn:dbi:Pg:dbname=rhttp
$ rhttp.pl -add listen:127.0.0.1:80

# Configures round-robin loadbalancing for 127.0.0.1:80 because the header is the same.
$ echo "insert into vhost (header, config) values ('127.0.0.1:80', '127.0.0.1:4000:0');" | psql rhttp
$ echo "insert into vhost (header, config) values ('127.0.0.1:80', '127.0.0.1:5000:0');" | psql rhttp

$ rhttp.pl

This allows for two vhosts that both point to 127.0.0.1 port 4000 and 5000;
they are loadbalanced.  In addition, the reverse proxy listens on port 80.

The vhost is basically a string match against the Host: header field.

Running

$ rhttp.pl

Other

Use nginx - it's better
