fastforward

Fastforward is library for writing reverse proxies in rust.

usage - simple_proxy

To implement a proxy that just receives traffic on listen_addr and forwards the it to proxy_addr use the simple_proxy function. ``` extern crate fastforward; extern crate http;

use std::net::SocketAddr; use proxy::simple_proxy;

fn main() { let listenaddr: SocketAddr = "127.0.0.1:8080".parse().unwrap(); let proxyaddr: SocketAddr = "127.0.0.1:4000".parse().unwrap();

println!("running on port :8080");
simple_proxy(listen_addr, proxy_addr);

} ```

usage - generic_proxy

To implement arbitrary logic for your proxy write a request director function. The request, after be passed into the director, will be proxied to the address specified by the "Host" header on the request. ``` extern crate fastforward; extern crate http;

use http::{ header::HeaderValue, Response }; use std::io; use std::net::SocketAddr; use fastforward::generic_proxy;

// The director function mutates the incoming request before proxying it. // In this example, the request URI is changed to the proxy URI. // This examle mimics the functionality of the simple_proxy function. fn mydirector(req: &mut http::Request>) -> Option>> { // set the variables let proxyaddr = HeaderValue::from_str("127.0.0.1:4000").unwrap();

let reqheaders = req.headersmut(); reqheaders.remove(http::header::HOST); reqheaders.insert(http::header::HOST, proxy_addr);

None // ignore the return type for this example }

fn main() { let listenaddr: SocketAddr = "127.0.0.1:8080".parse().unwrap(); genericproxy(listenaddr, mydirector); } ```
