HttpProxy

Elixir CI

codecov

Simple multi HTTP Proxy using Plug. And support record/play requests.

MY GOAL

  • Record/Play proxied requests
    • http_proxy support multi port and multi urls on one execution command mix proxy.
  • Support VCR

architecture

           http_proxy
Client  (server  client)  proxied_server
  |            |            |
  | 1.request  |            |
  |  ------>   | 2.request  |
  |            |  ------>   |
  |            |            |
  |            | 3.response |
  | 4.response |  <------   |
  |  <------   |            |
  |            |            |
  1. The client sends a request to http_proxy, then the http_proxy works as a proxy server.
  2. When the http_proxy receives the request from the client, then the http_proxy sends the request to a proxied server, e.g. http://google.com, as a client.
  3. The http_proxy receives responses from the proxied_server, then the http_proxy sets the response into its response to the client.
  4. The Client receives responses from the http_proxy.

Quick use as http proxy

requirement

  • Elixir over 1.7

set application and deps

  • mix.exs
    • :logger is option.
    • :http_proxy is not need if you run http_proxy with HttpProxy.start/0 or HttpProxy.stop/0 manually.
def application do
  [applications: [:logger, :http_proxy]]
end

...

defp deps do
  [
    {:http_proxy, "~> 1.4.0"}
  ]
end

set configuration

  • config/config.exs
use Mix.Config

config :http_proxy,
  proxies: [
             %{port: 8080,
               to:   "http://google.com"},
             %{port: 8081,
               to:   "http://yahoo.com"}
            ]
  • To manage logger, you should define logger settings like the following.
config :logger, :console,
  level: :info

solve deps and run a server

$ mix deps.get
$ mix clean
$ mix run --no-halt # start proxy server

If you would like to start production mode, you should run with MIX_ENV=prod like the following command.

$ MIX_ENV=prod mix run --no-halt

launch browser

Launch browser and open http://localhost:8080 or http://localhost:8081. Then, http://localhost:8080 redirect to http://google.com and http://localhost:8081 do to http://yahoo.com.

Development

  • Copy pre-commit hook
    • cp hooks/pre-commit ./git/hooks/pre-commit

Configuration

Customize proxy port

  • You can customize a proxy port. For example, if you change a waiting port from 8080 to 4000, then you can access to http://google.com via http://localhost:4000.
use Mix.Config

config :http_proxy,
  proxies: [
             %{port: 4000,
               to:   "http://google.com"},
             %{port: 8081,
               to:   "http://yahoo.com"}
            ]

Add proxy

  • You can add a waiting ports in configuration file. For example, the following setting allow you to access to http://apple.com via http://localhost:8082 in addition.
use Mix.Config

config :http_proxy,
  proxies: [
             %{port: 8080,
               to:   "http://google.com"},
             %{port: 8081,
               to:   "http://yahoo.com"},
             %{port: 8082,
               to:   "http://apple.com"}
            ]

Play and Record mode

  • When :record and :play are false, then the http_proxy works just multi port proxy.
  • When :record is true, then the http_proxy works to record request which is proxied.
  • When :play is true, then the http_proxy works to play request between this the http_proxy and clients.
use Mix.Config

config :http_proxy,
  proxies: [                   # MUST
             %{port: 8080,     # proxy all request even play or record
               to:   "http://google.com"},
             %{port: 8081,
               to:   "http://yahoo.com"}
            ]
  timeout: 20_000,             # Option, ms to wait http request.
  record: false,               # Option, true: record requests. false: don't record.
  play: false,                 # Option, true: play stored requests. false: don't play.
  export_path: "test/example", # Option, path to export recorded files.
  play_path: "test/data"       # Option, path to read json files as response to.

Example

Record request as the following

{
  "request": {
    "headers": [],
    "method": "GET",
    "options": {
      "aspect": "query_params"
    },
    "remote": "127.0.0.1",
    "request_body": "",
    "url": "http://localhost:8080/hoge/inu?email=neko&pass=123"
  },
  "response": {
    "body_file": "path/to/body_file.json",
    "cookies": {},
    "headers": {
      "Cache-Control": "public, max-age=2592000",
      "Content-Length": "251",
      "Content-Type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8",
      "Date": "Sat, 21 Nov 2015 00:37:38 GMT",
      "Expires": "Mon, 21 Dec 2015 00:37:38 GMT",
      "Location": "http://www.google.com/hoge/inu?email=neko&pass=123",
      "Server": "sffe",
      "X-Content-Type-Options": "nosniff",
      "X-XSS-Protection": "1; mode=block"
    },
    "status_code": 301
  }
}

Response body will save in "path/to/body_file.json".

Play request with the following JSON data

  • Example is https://github.com/KazuCocoa/http_proxy/tree/master/test/data/mappings
  • You can set path or path_pattern as attribute under request.
    • If path, the http_proxy check requests are matched completely.
    • If path_pattern, the http_proxy check requests are matched with Regex.
  • You can set body or body_file as attribute under response.
    • If body, the http_proxy send the body string.
    • If body_file, the http_proxy send the body_file binary as response.
path and body case
{
  "request": {
    "path": "/request/path",
    "port": 8080,
    "method": "GET"
  },
  "response": {
    "body": "<html>hello world</html>",
    "cookies": {},
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8",
      "Server": "GFE/2.0"
    },
    "status_code": 200
  }
}
path_pattern and body_file case
  • Pattern match with Regex.match?(Regex.compile!("\A/request.*neko\z"), request_path)
  • File.read/2 via file/to/path.json and respond the binary
{
  "request": {
    "path_pattern": "\A/request.*neko\z",
    "port": 8080,
    "method": "GET"
  },
  "response": {
    "body_file": "file/to/path.json",
    "cookies": {},
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8",
      "Server": "GFE/2.0"
    },
    "status_code": 200
  }
}
