Handling HTTPS with Akka-http

[Bassam Khallaf]

Dear Gents,

I was creating a small proxy to intercept all local http requests, then authorize them with the remote proxy. Here is the code snippet:

Source<IncomingConnection, CompletionStage<ServerBinding>> serverSource =

                Http.get(system).bind(ConnectWithHttps.toHost("localhost", LOCAL_PORT), materializer);

        Authorization authorization = Authorization.basic(USERNAME, PASSWORD);

        Flow<HttpRequest, HttpRequest, NotUsed> applySecurity =

                Flow.of(HttpRequest.class)

                    .map(request -> request.addHeader(authorization));

        Flow<HttpRequest, HttpResponse, CompletionStage<OutgoingConnection>> forwardToProxy =

                Http.get(system).outgoingConnection(ConnectWithHttps.toHost(PROXY_ADDRESS, PROXY_PORT));

        Flow<HttpRequest, HttpResponse, NotUsed> handler =

                Flow.of(HttpRequest.class)

                   .via(applySecurity)

                .via(forwardToProxy);

    serverSource.to(Sink.foreach(conn -> {

             System.out.println("Accepted new connection from " + conn.remoteAddress());

             conn.handleWith(handler, materializer);

                }

 )).run(materializer);

 I need to handle Https requests also. But I always get this error:

[WARN] [04/14/2016 00:07:28.480] [MyActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-13] [akka.actor.ActorSystemImpl(MyActorSystem)] Illegal request, responding with status '400 Bad Request': Request is missing required `Host` header: 'Host' header value of request to `eg.linkedin.com:443` doesn't match request target authority: Host header: Some(Host: eg.linkedin.com:443)

I've tried to use "ConnectWithHttps" instead of "ConnectHttp" but it didn't. I couldn't find any example related to Https

Any idea, thanks?

Regards,

Bassam

Hello,

Is there any tutorial or example related to Https with akka-Http[java]?

Thanks

Hi Bassam,

The client does not fully support proxies, especially when it comes to Https: see https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/16853

Hi Endre,

Thanks for your reply, 

What I'm trying to do is a relay or intermediate proxy to intercept all HTTPS requests on my machine then authorize it with organization real proxy then return the response back to origin requester. I wanna do this to remove all the hassle of configuring all build tools with username/password like: sbt, maven, npm and so on. I just want to refer to localhost with some port and put the credentials only in one place, the relay.

Any suggestion? 

Thanks for your time,

Bassam
