README

goproxy

This project is a template for a simple golang based reverse proxy server. It contains all the basics for a useful HTTP reverse proxy, you just need to add your custom logic.

Getting Started

goproxy has 4 configuration options:

target: The target server (must be a full address)
port: The port you want to run goproxy on
logdir: The path you want goproxy to write its logs to
cachesize: The size of the internal cache (defaults to unbounded)

For example:

$ goproxy -target http://localhost:4567 -port 8080 -logdir logs -cachesize 2

Working with goproxy

You can simply compile and run goproxy, but if you just want a reverse proxy with no additional options, I recommend using something like NGINX. If you need custom logic in your proxy, you just need to modify the handle function and insert your code. Here you have full access to the request and can perform any necessary actions on the request there. This includes additional processing, routing, and even termination of unwanted traffic. You are of course welcome to modify anything in the project, but the intent is that the everything else is taken care of for you already.
