A reverse proxy written in pure PHP with the help of the Bramus PHP router.
This can work perfectly as a nginx alternative in case you're working on a shared hosting service or facing any difficulties in configuring nginx
- According to https://github.com/bramus/router#features, the currently supported HTTP request methods are
GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,OPTIONS,PATCHandHEAD - Easily configurable with multiple options
- Simply written, with easily understandable code
- Forwards requests as they are
- The capability of forwarding the real client IP to the destination server
- Caching with the different supported drivers (see https://github.com/PHPSocialNetwork/phpfastcache/blob/master/docs/DRIVERS.md)
- Install the required dependencies using
composer install- Configure it to your liking by editing the
config.phpfile - Make sure the
.htaccessis in place.
This project currently follows the essential bits of the Cloudflare default caching behaviour (https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/about/default-cache-behavior/)
Currently, php-reverse-proxy doesn't handle any cache expiry headers and will force all the cached resources to expire as configured in the ttl value of the config.php file
The caching procedure of php-reverse-proxy is to be improved in the near future :)
