We're attempting to build a proxy-like application along the lines of what it looks like the RFE might be addressing (a true HTTP proxy, not a reverse proxy).
I was mainly wondering if someone else had tried and had discovered some fundamental drawback that would make it impossible. It turns out that, at least for non-SSL traffic, Restlets can be used as a crude proxy mechanism - I built one in less than 100 lines of code, but it doesnt process HTTP headers so it wouldn't be useful in a production environment. There remains the question, however, of whether it's even appropriate to use Restlets as an HTTP proxy (especially because I don't think it would work well with TLS-tunneling via CONNECT). --Chuck -----Original Message----- From: Jerome Louvel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 1:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Proxy server Hi Chuck, There is a reverse proxy available via the Redirector class: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.0/api/org/restlet/Redirector.html This is not however a true HTTP proxy if this is what you are looking for. There is a RFE for this: http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=207 I'm not sure I understand what do you mean by "I'm looking for anything that would rule out using Restlets". Are you worried about the lack of some specific features? Could you give more details?
