PHP Proxy
This is a HTTP/HTTPS proxy script that forwards requests to a different server and returns the response. The Proxy class uses PSR7 request/response objects as input/output, and uses Guzzle to do the actual HTTP request.
Installation
Install using composer:
composer require jenssegers/proxy
Example
The following example creates a request object, based on the current browser request, and forwards it to example.com
. The RemoveEncodingFilter
removes the encoding headers from the original response so that the current webserver can set these correctly.
use Proxy\Proxy;
use Proxy\Adapter\Guzzle\GuzzleAdapter;
use Proxy\Filter\RemoveEncodingFilter;
use Laminas\Diactoros\ServerRequestFactory;
// Create a PSR7 request based on the current browser request.
$request = ServerRequestFactory::fromGlobals();
// Create a guzzle client
$guzzle = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
// Create the proxy instance
$proxy = new Proxy(new GuzzleAdapter($guzzle));
// Add a response filter that removes the encoding headers.
$proxy->filter(new RemoveEncodingFilter());
try {
// Forward the request and get the response.
$response = $proxy->forward($request)->to('http://example.com');
// Output response to the browser.
(new Laminas\HttpHandlerRunner\Emitter\SapiEmitter)->emit($response);
} catch(\GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException $e) {
// Correct way to handle bad responses
(new Laminas\HttpHandlerRunner\Emitter\SapiEmitter)->emit($e->getResponse());
}
Filters
You can apply filters to the requests and responses using the middleware strategy:
$response = $proxy
->forward($request)
->filter(function ($request, $response, $next) {
// Manipulate the request object.
$request = $request->withHeader('User-Agent', 'FishBot/1.0');
// Call the next item in the middleware.
$response = $next($request, $response);
// Manipulate the response object.
$response = $response->withHeader('X-Proxy-Foo', 'Bar');
return $response;
})
->to('http://example.com');
