public abstract class AbstractProxyServlet
extends HttpServlet

Abstract base class for proxy servlets.

Forwards requests to another server either as a standard web reverse proxy or as a transparent reverse proxy (as defined by RFC 7230).

To facilitate JMX monitoring, the HttpClient instance is set as ServletContext attribute, prefixed with this servlet's name and exposed by the mechanism provided by ServletContext.setAttribute(String, Object).

The following init parameters may be used to configure the servlet:

• preserveHost - the host header specified by the client is forwarded to the server
• hostHeader - forces the host header to a particular value
• viaHost - the name to use in the Via header: Via: http/1.1 <viaHost>
• whiteList - comma-separated list of allowed proxy hosts
• blackList - comma-separated list of forbidden proxy hosts

In addition, see createHttpClient() for init parameters used to configure the HttpClient instance.

NOTE: By default the Host header sent to the server by this proxy servlet is the server's host name. However, this breaks redirects. Set preserveHost to true to make redirects working, although this may break server's virtual host selection.

The default behavior of not preserving the Host header mimics the default behavior of Apache httpd and Nginx, which both have a way to be configured to preserve the Host header.

createHttpClient

protected HttpClient createHttpClient()
                               throws ServletException

Creates a HttpClient instance, configured with init parameters of this servlet.

The init parameters used to configure the HttpClient instance are:

Init Parameters

init-param	default	description
maxThreads	256	The max number of threads of HttpClient's Executor. If not set, or set to the value of "-", then the Jetty server thread pool will be used.
maxConnections	32768	The max number of connections per destination, see HttpClient.setMaxConnectionsPerDestination(int)
idleTimeout	30000	The idle timeout in milliseconds, see HttpClient.setIdleTimeout(long)
timeout	60000	The total timeout in milliseconds, see Request.timeout(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)
requestBufferSize	HttpClient's default	The request buffer size, see HttpClient.setRequestBufferSize(int)
responseBufferSize	HttpClient's default	The response buffer size, see HttpClient.setResponseBufferSize(int)

Returns:

a HttpClient configured from the servlet configuration

Throws:

ServletException - if the HttpClient cannot be created

newHttpClient

protected HttpClient newHttpClient()

Returns:

a new HttpClient instance

getHttpClient

protected HttpClient getHttpClient()

validateDestination

public boolean validateDestination(String host,
                                   int port)

Checks the given host and port against whitelist and blacklist.

Parameters:

host - the host to check

port - the port to check

Returns:

true if it is allowed to be proxy to the given host and port

rewriteTarget

protected String rewriteTarget(HttpServletRequest clientRequest)

onProxyRewriteFailed

protected void onProxyRewriteFailed(HttpServletRequest clientRequest,
