proxy server

Proxy server on ASP.NET

This project implements a simple HTTP server in ASP.NET to proxy requests to third-party services.

Description

The server accepts HTTP requests from clients, extracts data from them, sends requests to third-party services, receives their responses, and returns the result to the client in JSON format. Requests and responses are stored locally in memory.

Incoming request format

The server expects a request in JSON format with the fields:

 {
"method": "GET",
"url": "http://example.com",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your_access_token" }
}

Response Format

The response to the client must be in JSON format with the following fields:

 {
"id": "requestId",
"status": <HTTP-статус ответа стороннего сервиса>,
"headers": { "массив заголовков из ответа стороннего сервиса" },
"length": <длина содержимого ответа>
}

Installation and launch

Requirements

• .NET SDK 8.0 or higher
• Docker (for containerization)

Installation steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <URL репозитория>
   cd ProxyServer

3. Build the project:

   dotnet build

5. Start the server:

   dotnet run

The server will be launched at http://localhost:44331.

Usage

To use the server, send a POST request to http://localhost:44331/Proxy/proxy with a JSON body containing the method, URL, and request headers:

 {
"method": "GET",
"url": "http://example.com",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer your_access_token"
}

The server will send a request to the specified URL, receive a response from the third-party service, and return a JSON response with information about the request and response.

Docker

You can also run the server in a Docker container.

Building and running a Docker container:

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker-compose build

3. Start the Docker container:

   docker-compose up -d

The server will be available at http://localhost:8080.

Makefile

To automate commands, use Makefile.

Makefile commands:

• build: Build the Docker image
