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
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
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
match 'blog/*path' => 'wordpress#index', via: [:get, :post, :put, :patch, :delete]
You can also pass options into reverse_proxy
reverse_proxy "http://localhost:8000", path: "custom-path", headers: { 'X-Foo' => "Bar" }
If you'd like to bypass SSL verification
reverse_proxy "http://localhost:8000", verify_ssl: false
If you'd like to customize options passed into the underlying {Net:HTTP
} object
reverse_proxy "http://localhost:8000", http: { read_timeout: 20, open_timeout: 100 }
Determine what version you're using
ReverseProxy.version
