HTTP Proxying

Proxysaur supports two modes for proxying HTTP requests: HTTP forwarding mode, and reverse proxy mode.

HTTP forwarding mode allows proxysaur to be used as a system-wide proxy.

Reverse proxy mode allows proxysaur to terminate HTTP(S) traffic for a single host.

HTTP(S) Forward Proxy Configuration

Proxysaur ships with a forward proxy WASI module which is highly configurable, and allows the following things:

• Request rewriting and redirecting
• Serving responses directly from the filesystem
• Response rewriting and recording

Unless specified otherwise, this module is activated by default when the httpforward protocol is specified.

The remaining documentation will cover how to use httpforward mode to observe and manipulate HTTP traffic.
