Reverse Proxy/Forward HTTP Requests in Erlang

Question

I have searched the web and found inets and mod_esi, however I need to build a module that takes a HTTP request to http://localhost:8000 and then reverse proxies it to http://localhost:9000 without doing a HTTP forward, as I need the proxied server to be anonymous to the requester at all times.

Something similar implemented in Node.JS can be found: https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy .

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

The Yaws web server supports both forward and reverse proxies. Maybe you can have a look at the Yaws source code for inspiration.
