Reverse Proxy Middleware Example

HTTPX has no server-side reverse proxy middleware. To front a backend, either deploy a dedicated proxy (Nginx, HAProxy) or forward explicitly in a handler with the URL-first client:

fn proxyHandler(ctx: *httpx.router.Context) anyerror!httpx.router.Response {
    var res = try client.get("http://127.0.0.1:9001/api/data", .{});
    defer res.deinit();
    const body = try ctx.allocator.dupe(u8, res.body);
    return .{ .status = res.status, .body = body, .contentType = res.contentType() };
}

For client-side forward proxies (including SOCKS5h), see Proxy Example and examples/proxyDemo.zig.

Expected Output

The handler itself prints nothing; the forwarded client response carries fields in this format (representative values shown):

status=200 body={"key":"value"} content-type=application/json

Status codes, bodies, and content types vary with the backend at 127.0.0.1:9001 and the request path.
