Features

• HTTP Reverse Proxies - Functions as a reverse proxy middleware that forwards incoming HTTP requests to target backend servers.
• Node.js Proxy Servers - A Node.js library for forwarding HTTP requests to target servers with support for header rewriting and SSL validation.
• Handshake Upgrade Handlers - Detects WebSocket upgrade requests to transition from standard HTTP to persistent bidirectional data streams.
• Header Modifiers - Intercepts and modifies request and response headers before they reach the target server or client.
• WebSocket and HTTP/2 Passthrough Proxies - Upgrades HTTP connections to bidirectional WebSocket streams between clients and backend servers.
• Response Body Modifiers - Intercepts the response stream to modify data or headers before delivering the final payload to the client.
• Request Header Configuration - Modifies outgoing proxy request headers by adding or changing values before sending the request to the target server.
• Traffic Routing - Directs incoming requests to different backend destinations based on predefined routing rules and translation tables.
• Traffic Routing Rules - Maps incoming request paths to specific target destinations using a rule-based translation table.
• Cookie and Redirect Rewriting - Modifies location hostnames, protocols, and cookie domains in responses to ensure correct client routing.
• SSL/TLS Connection Security - Establishes encrypted connections using SSL certificates to secure traffic between the proxy and the target.
• Rule-Based Routing Systems - Matches incoming request paths against a translation table to determine the appropriate destination server.
• Response Rewriters - Modifies response bodies, location headers, and cookies in real time before sending data back to the client.
• Reverse Proxies - Maps incoming routes to target destinations and transforms request and response data streams.
• Response Header Modifiers - Utility for modifying response bodies, location headers, and cookie domains before they reach the client.
• Response Body Modifiers - Provides the ability to intercept and modify response bodies before they are delivered to the client.
• Network Stream Transformations - Modifies incoming request and outgoing response data streams in real time to optimize memory usage.
• Proxy Server Management - Provides mechanisms to start a proxy server on a specific port or shut it down to stop accepting connections.
• Request - Processes incoming and outgoing data as chunks to minimize memory overhead during request and response forwarding.
• Web Server Lifecycle Controls - Provides controls to start a standalone web server to listen for connections or shut it down.
