# EM-Proxy

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/igrigorik/em-proxy.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/igrigorik/em-proxy)

EventMachine Proxy DSL for writing high-performance transparent / intercepting proxies in Ruby.

- EngineYard tutorial: [Load testing your environment using em-proxy](http://docs.engineyard.com/em-proxy.html)
- [Slides from RailsConf 2009](http://bit.ly/D7oWB)
- [GoGaRuCo notes & Slides](http://www.igvita.com/2009/04/20/ruby-proxies-for-scale-and-monitoring/)

## Getting started

$> gem install em-proxy
$> em-proxy
Usage: em-proxy [options]
-l, --listen [PORT] Port to listen on
-d, --duplex [host:port, ...] List of backends to duplex data to
-r, --relay [hostname:port] Relay endpoint: hostname:port
-s, --socket [filename] Relay endpoint: unix filename
-v, --verbose Run in debug mode

$> em-proxy -l 8080 -r localhost:8081 -d localhost:8082,localhost:8083 -v

The above will start em-proxy on port 8080, relay and respond with data from port 8081, and also (optional) duplicate all traffic to ports 8082 and 8083 (and discard their responses).

## Simple port forwarding proxy

```ruby
Proxy.start(:host => "0.0.0.0", :port => 80, :debug => true) do |conn|
conn.server :srv, :host => "127.0.0.1", :port => 81

# modify / process request stream
conn.on_data do |data|
p [:on_data, data]
data
end

# modify / process response stream
conn.on_response do |backend, resp|
p [:on_response, backend, resp]
resp
end

# termination logic
conn.on_finish do |backend, name|
p [:on_finish, name]

# terminate connection (in duplex mode, you can terminate when prod is done)
unbind if backend == :srv
end
end
```
