Tornado as a reverse proxy?

[Wilber H]

Hi,

Can Tornado's webserver be configured as a reverse proxy?

[Rajdeep Rath]

You want to send request to another server from tornado?

Thanks but that example uses nginx as the reverse proxy, to send request to Tornado.  

Since Tornado has a webserver, I was wondering if it can be configured as a reverse proxy.  But looks like is not possible; can't find this capability in their docs.

You could *build* a reverse proxy using Tornado. But there's not any built-in proxy functionality that you can simply configure and use. 

To build a proxy I'd recommend programming directly to the HTTP*Delegate interfaces and not using the tornado.web module. I vaguely recall that there are things about the tornado.web module that make it unsuitable for *forward* proxies. It might still work for reverse proxies, but you'll probably get better results with the lower-level interfaces.
