Proxy and Reverse Proxy

Client-side forward proxying. There is no server-side reverse proxy in HTTPX. See examples/proxyDemo.zig.

Forward Proxy (Client)

// Client-level proxy (URL form).
var client = httpx.Client.init(allocator, io, .{
    .proxy = "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
});
defer client.deinit();

// Per-request override, including SOCKS5h for remote DNS.
var res = try client.get("http://target.example.com/data", .{
    .proxy = "socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080",
});
defer res.deinit();

With http://, the client keeps forward-proxy behavior and supports CONNECT tunnels for TLS endpoints. With socks5h://, the proxy resolves the target host remotely.

Run

zig build run-proxy-demo

What to Verify

• Requests route through the configured proxy.
• SOCKS5h delegates DNS to the proxy side.
