NAME

http-relay - Relay HTTP requests from local host to a remote host.

DESCRIPTION

usage: http-relay [-h] [-n NUM_THREADS] [-b BUFFER_SIZE] [-t SIGKILL_TIMEOUT]

[-s] host [port] [local_port] [local_addr]

Relay HTTP requests from localhost to a remote host (act as reverse HTTP proxy).

positional arguments:

	host		The remote host to connect to (e.g. "cvut.cz")
	port		The remote host’s port to connect to (e.g. 80).

local_port

The local port to be used for the relay. If left out, will be the same as remote port.

local_addr

Local interface (IP or hostname) to run the relay on. By default, it runs on all IPv4 interfaces (0.0.0.0).

options:

-h , --help

show this help message and exit

-n NUM_THREADS, --num-threads NUM_THREADS

Number of threads servicing the incoming requests.

-b BUFFER_SIZE, --buffer-size BUFFER_SIZE

Size of the buffer used for reading responses. Generally, a larger buffer should be more efficient, but if it is too large, the local clients may time out before they receive any data.

-t SIGKILL_TIMEOUT, --sigkill-timeout SIGKILL_TIMEOUT

If specified, the relay will be sigkilled in this number of seconds.

-s , --sigkill-on-stream-stop

If True, --sigkill-timeout will not be counted when no requests are active, and during requests, each successful data transmission will reset the timeout. This can be used to detect stale streams if you expect an application to be constantly receiving data.
