Proxy Prototyping

The point of this codebase is to enable very quick prototyping of proxy code.

There are two modules:

• proxy which is the simple prototype

• service which is a rest api to act as a service

You run each of this in their own terminal from the project root:

• ./runinstance.sh service 7000

• ./runinstance.sh proxy 6000

By default, calls to 6000 will proxy to the same location at 7000.

You can change where the proxy will direct calls by sending a host query such as:

• curl http://localhost:6000?host=https://google.com

This changes the target from the default http://localhost:7000 to https://google.com. Once this is done you do not need to pass the host query flag again to talk to google.com

As a quick test with the default setup (not changing the host), both of these should work:

• curl -v http://localhost:6000/color/code/200

• curl -v http://localhost:7000/color/code/200
