Creating an HTTP Proxy Server in Go

[DM]

I want to create a http proxy server in go that will receive a request and send the request to another server with all the headers and then return the response it receives to the caller. Can some one let me know how this can be done efficiently?

That's a reverse proxy, please google for recipes on how to make one.

My take was this: https://github.com/dullgiulio/go-tests/blob/master/rproxy/main.go

This is actually included with Go already: http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httputil/#ReverseProxy

Or if you want I created a small utils to extend the reverse proxy from the stdlib: https://github.com/creack/goproxy

Hello,

I implemented a configurable HTTPS proxy for local development of multiple web-services and a single static site. The built-in libraries make it really easy if you're already familiar with the HTTP server module. The only thing to be aware of with the proxy is that it forwards the external hostname. If you're proxy is found at "yolo.appspot.com" and the proxy URL is specified as "junctionbox.ca:80" it'll use the IP resolved for "junctionbox.ca" and the HOST header will be "yolo.appspot.com".

Kind Regards,

Nathan
