NAME
Plack::Middleware::Proxy::Requests - Forward proxy server
SYNOPSIS
# In app.psgi
use Plack::Builder;
use Plack::App::Proxy;
builder {
enable "Proxy::Connect";
enable "Proxy::AddVia";
enable "Proxy::Requests";
Plack::App::Proxy->new->to_app;
};
# From shell
plackup -s Twiggy -E Proxy -e 'enable q{AccessLog}' app.psgi
# or
twiggy -MPlack::App::Proxy \
-e 'enable q{AccessLog}; enable q{Proxy::Connect}; \
enable q{Proxy::AddVia}; enable q{Proxy::Requests}; \
Plack::App::Proxy->new->to_app'DESCRIPTION
This module handles HTTP requests as a forward proxy server.
Its job is to set a plack.proxy.url environment variable based on REQUEST_URI variable.
The HTTP responses from the Internet might be invalid. In that case it is required to run the server without Plack::Middleware::Lint module. This module is started by default and disabled if -E or --no-default-middleware option is used when starting plackup script. Note that this disable also Plack::Middleware::AccessLog so it have to be enabled explicitly if needed.
The default server Plack::Server::PSGI alias Standalone can hang up on stalled connection. It is better to run proxy server with Starlet, Starman or Twiggy.
