How to configure GWAN as a reverse proxy?


It's still a not documented feature ... maybe in a next release ? @gil ?


Right now there's no easy way for you to do that. That will change with the next release.

We first hardcoded the reverse-proxy feature in G-WAN along with the load-balancer. Then, as we needed to personalize reverse-proxying, we implemented it as a protocol handler script.

Protocol handler scripts allow users to implement any protocol (like SMTP, LDAP, etc.) without haveing to deal with multi-threading nor socket events.

But finally, to reduce complexity for users, we might revert to the hard-coded implementation with connection handlers scripts to let people personalize the reverse proxy.

It's maturing under different use cases, hence the delay in publicly releasing this feature and a few others.

Rushing to implement features and interfaces is not always optimal, if the goal is to stay flexible and easy to use.
