Detailed Description

The HTTP request forwarder. Forwards a tanzer::request message object to a remote HTTP service, unmodified; any request body provided by the inbound client is forwarded to the remote HTTP service.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

tanzer::http::handler::constructor   opts  

The following values must be specified in a list of key-value pairs in $opts.

  • host

    The hostname or address of the remote HTTP service

  • port

    The port number of the remote HTTP service

The mechanism by which this request handler functions is simple: It first opens a connection with the remote host, then sends the current request to the remote service. Then, the remote service's response is parsed into a new tanzer::response object, which is in turn sent to the originating client; thereafter, the response body is piped via [chan copy] to the originating client.
