🔄 Efficient reverse proxy module written in Go

Go Reverse Proxy

This project is a lightweight and efficient reverse proxy module written in Go. Besides directly forwarding incoming requests to the specified remote, it allows for rewriting of the request path and defining custom headers.

Features

• Easy configuration via a simple Go API.
• Fine-grained control over which paths are passed through to the backend.
• Support for rewriting of the request path.
• Customizable request and response headers.

Installation

To install go-reverse-proxy, use the following command:

go get -u github.com/secondtruth/go-reverse-proxy

Usage

package main

import (
	"crypto/tls"
	"log"
	"net/http"

	reverseproxy "github.com/secondtruth/go-reverse-proxy"
)

func main() {
	rp, err := reverseproxy.New("http://my-backend:8000")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	rp.RequestHeader = http.Header{
		"Authorization": []string{"Bearer abc123"},
	}
	rp.Transport = &http.Transport{
		TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true},
	}

	rp.PassPath("*", "/")
	rp.PassPaths("HEAD|GET|POST", "/api/version", "/api/posts")
	rp.RewritePath("HEAD|GET|POST", "/posts", "/api/posts")

	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", rp))
}
