UberProxy

UberProxy is a reverse proxy written in NodeJS. It was designed to be fast and easy to configure.

Features

1. Highly configurable
   • Provides a RESTful interface to add and remove workers, SSL domains, etc.
2. Easy to extend.
   • Write plugins in Javascript!
   • Everything is a plugin internally
     • Redirect
     • Logging
3. Fast (NodeJS is neat handling lots of I/O)
4. Efficient uploads
   • The proxy buffer to disk a file upload
   • When it's ready it forwards to the worker
   • The Proxy deal much better with slow connections
5. Throttle connections to workers (by default 20 per worker)
6. SSL support
7. URL sanitization
   • //foobar/// will be rewrite to /foobar before forwarding the app
8. The workers are in control of everything:
   • Rewrite hostname
   • Rewrite URL
   • Expose URL (with regular expressions) they can work
     • If a worker can serve ^/(foo|bar)/.+, any other request will generate a 404 Error page in the proxy itself.
   • They can choose which plugins to use (Global plugins may apply any ways)
