I am trying to create a transparent reverse proxy using org.restlet.routing.Redirector.
For the sake of simplicity let's say all I want to do is to redirect all requests pointing at http://localhost:80 to be dispatched to another unrelated server: http://localhost:8080 I've wrote a simple reverse proxy using Redirector (MODE_SERVER_OUTBOUND mode) and it actually works as expected in the sense that it dispatches requests properly and also handles redirects. But now let's say that resources at http://localhost:8080 are protected with Digest authentication mechanism. Now the problem is that headers in requests and responses when handled by Redirector are removed which makes Digest authentication mechanism unusable. >From docs WRT MODE_SERVER_OUTBOUND: ---- Note that in this mode, the headers of HTTP requests, stored in the request's attributes, are removed before dispatching. Also, when a HTTP response comes back the headers are also removed. ---- Is there any way to leave headers intact so that end server (http://localhost:8080) and clients could communicate as there is no proxy in between? ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3076621
