Can the Play Framework act as a proxy server or as a reverse proxy server?

Question

I have a client: C , server: S (for example, on local ip 10.0.0.1 on port 7000) and a web server: W (for example, www.example.com)

C wants to contact S via the web path: http://www.example.com/path_for_server_S

So W acts like a forward proxy

Now S will contact C in the same way: http://www.example.com/path_for_server_S

So now W acts like a Reverse Proxy

Then in Apache it will be a general configuration similar to this:

ProxyPass /path_for_server_S http://10.0.0.1:7000 ProxyPassReverse /path_for_server_S http://10.0.0.1:7000 

Is it possible for a playback platform that already has a built-in web server to handle this situation?

I searched a lot, did not find anything about this :)

Answer 1

You could, of course, write the proxy component manually in any modern web environment, initiate an HTTPS request from the controller, and then pass the result back to the response.

I would be surprised if you had Nginx level performance.
