NAME

Plack::Middleware::Proxy::Requests - Forward proxy server

SYNOPSIS

# In app.psgi
use Plack::Builder;
use Plack::App::Proxy;

builder {
enable "Proxy::Connect";
enable "Proxy::AddVia";
enable "Proxy::Requests";
Plack::App::Proxy->new->to_app;
};

# From shell
plackup -s Twiggy -E Proxy -e 'enable q{AccessLog}' app.psgi

# or
twiggy -MPlack::App::Proxy \
-e 'enable q{AccessLog}; enable q{Proxy::Connect}; \
enable q{Proxy::AddVia}; enable q{Proxy::Requests}; \
Plack::App::Proxy->new->to_app'

DESCRIPTION

This module handles HTTP requests as a forward proxy server.

Its job is to set a plack.proxy.url environment variable based on
REQUEST_URI variable.

The HTTP responses from the Internet might be invalid. In that case it
is required to run the server without Plack::Middleware::Lint module.
This module is started by default and disabled if -E or
--no-default-middleware option is used when starting plackup script.
Note that this disables also Plack::Middleware::AccessLog so it has to
be enabled explicitly if needed.

The default server Plack::Server::PSGI alias Standalone can hang up on
the stalled connection. It is better to run a proxy server with
Starlet, Starman or Twiggy.
