Writing a reverse proxy
With all these tools combined, it becomes very easy to write a simple reverse http proxy.
use
Sabre\HTTP\Sapi,
Sabre\HTTP\Client;
// The url we're proxying to.
$remoteUrl = 'http://example.org/';
// The url we're proxying from. Please note that this must be a relative url,
// and basically acts as the base url.
//
// If youre $remoteUrl doesn't end with a slash, this one probably shouldn't
// either.
$myBaseUrl = '/reverseproxy.php';
// $myBaseUrl = '/~evert/sabre/http/examples/reverseproxy.php/';
$request = Sapi::getRequest();
$request->setBaseUrl($myBaseUrl);
$subRequest = clone $request;
// Removing the Host header.
$subRequest->removeHeader('Host');
// Rewriting the url.
$subRequest->setUrl($remoteUrl . $request->getPath());
$client = new Client();
// Sends the HTTP request to the server
$response = $client->send($subRequest);
// Sends the response back to the client that connected to the proxy.
Sapi::sendResponse($response);
