JWT Proxy demo

proxy-demo

Demo project of HTTP proxy server with JWT encoded header injection support.

Requirement: Python 3.10, SQLAlchemy, Flask, uWSGI

 

Local server setup

Note that local server usage is for testing only!

Install the requirements:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run server:

$ python3 -m proxy.uwsgi

For older Flask versions, you can use FLASK_ENV to enable development config:

$ FLASK_ENV=Development python3 -m proxy.uwsgi

Status page should be available now: http://<ip_or_domain>:8077/api/v1/status

Default server public port is 8077.

You can change it by setting environment variable HTTP_PORT via CLI:

$ HTTP_PORT=7171 python3 -m proxy.uwsgi

or via .env file.

Docker compose management

Build docker image:

$ make build

Start proxy:

$ make

or

$ make start

Status page should be available now: http://<ip_or_domain>:8077/api/v1/status

Stop proxy:

$ make stop

Restart proxy:

$ make restart

Display docker logs:

$ make logs

Default server public port is 8077.

You can change it by setting environment variable HTTP_PORT via CLI:

$ HTTP_PORT=7171 make build
$ HTTP_PORT=7171 make start
$ HTTP_PORT=7171 make test

or via .env file.

$ curl http://localhost:8077/api/v1/proxy-jwt -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "payload": "sample_data" }' -v | jq .

Automatic tests

Python unittest is using to cover test cases. Below installs test env requirements and run the tests.

$ make test

Logs

Logs are stored to the 'logs' dir inside container.

Logs dir is also exposed via docker-compose "volumes", so you can check log files directly at 'logs' dir where docker-compose is called from.

system.log - Contains system events and requests data

db.log - Contains database related events

uwsgi.log - Contains uWSGI HTTP server events

Documentation

In-code documentation is avaiable:

$ python3 -c "import proxy; help(proxy)"
