how to add RedirectStrategy to Apache HttpComponents NHttpReverseProxy

Question

I want to enable redirection in the HttpComponents NHttpReverseProxy example. To me, it seems the logical place would be to implement a Http Protocol Processor , but I haven't found one that I can implement or extend. I have seen the stack overflow question here that discusses a parameter that handles automatic redirect handling, but that link is broken. I also looked at an example on github , but I'm not sure how to incorporate that code into the Reverse Proxy example.

Answer 1

NHttpReverseProxy represents an extremely basic implementation of a reverse proxy with all non-essential bits omitted mainly intended to demonstrate efficient handling of inbound and outbound message streams using an event-driven non-blocking i/o model. For more complex scenarios one could use Apache HttpAsyncClient to execute outbound requests, which would automatically handle redirects
