Hi all. This question is mildly off-topic, but on the other hand I assume it would also be of great interest to people here. I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy for broadway ( gtk's html5 backend ) traffic. The idea is:
1) The browser hits a login page, which is regular html. After a login is successful, a new broadwayd process is launched, and a new instance of a gtk app is launched. The port that broadway is running on is stored in a hash "somewhere", and a cookie is set containing the key. 2) The browser is redirected to the reverse proxy. The proxy inspects the request ( eg passes it to HTTP::Request ) and pulls out the key. It then checks in the broadway mapping hash to see if this is a valid key/port. If so, it proxies all traffic from this browser to the correct port; if not, they're redirected to the login page. All of this could then sit behind an nginx https proxy, providing secure access for multiple remote clients to gtk+ apps :) I've implemented part 1. For part 2, I've been trying to figure out how to adapt the code: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/PEVANS/IO-Async-0.70/examples/tcp-proxy.pl This code ( it's very concise ) actually works perfectly for proxying broadway traffic ... to a static port. I've been trying to get my head around how I'd intercept the 1st bit of traffic - unfortunately, the way this example code is written, the connection to the backend is opened before we start reading. Can anyone see how to do this? Am I approaching it the right by ( ie using this example code )? Maybe there's an easier way?
