# rails-reverse-proxy
A reverse proxy for Ruby on Rails.
*A reverse proxy accepts a request from a client, forwards it to a server that can fulfill it, and returns the server's response to the client*
## Installation
You know the drill. In your Gemfile
```ruby
gem 'rails-reverse-proxy'
```
Then (you guessed it!)
```
$ bundle
```
## Usage
A use case for this gem is serving WordPress on a path within your Rails application, such as `/blog`.
To do this, your controller might look like this
```ruby
class WordpressController < ApplicationController
include ReverseProxy::Controller
def index
# Assuming the WordPress server is being hosted on port 8080
reverse_proxy "http://localhost:8080" do |config|
# We got a 404!
config.on_missing do |code, response|
redirect_to root_url and return
end
# There's also other callbacks:
# - on_set_cookies
# - on_connect
# - on_response
# - on_set_cookies
# - on_success
# - on_redirect
# - on_missing
# - on_error
# - on_complete
end
end
end
```
Then in your `routes.rb` file, you should have something like
```ruby
match 'blog/*path' => 'wordpress#index', via: [:get, :post, :put, :patch, :delete]
```
You can also pass options into `reverse_proxy`
```ruby
reverse_proxy "http://localhost:8000", path: "custom-path", headers: { 'X-Foo' => "Bar" }
```
If you'd like to bypass SSL verification
```ruby
reverse_proxy "http://localhost:8000", verify_ssl: false
```
If you'd like to customize options passed into the underlying [`Net:HTTP`](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.4.0/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html#start-method) object
```ruby
reverse_proxy "http://localhost:8000", http: { read_timeout: 20, open_timeout: 100 }
```
Determine what version you're using
```ruby
ReverseProxy.version
```
