# About the project

The project is an example of an application that uses reverse proxy from the standartd library.

# Why

Let's assume you want to migrate your api from language X to golang.

Sometimes it's hard to rewrite everything at once and you want to move some handlers to golang, but use old application as a fallback.

I just want to show you that you don't have to use any 3rd-party proxies (like `nginx`) or write your own proxy logic.

# How to use it

The solution is quite simple and straightforward.

We use [reverse proxy](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httputil/#NewSingleHostReverseProxy) and http server from the standard library.

* Clone or `go get -u github.com/beono/simproxy` this project.

* Run `go test && go run main.go` to see it in action.

Send a request to http://localhost/hello and you will get a tiny text response.

Send a request to http://localhost:8080/oauth2/v3/certs and you will get a json response.

This request was proxied to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs, because this handler doesn't exist in our new application.
