A universal "Web Proxy Service" action for Play 2.1 Scala

Play2.1 Web "Proxy Service" Example

# Add this to your conf/routes file
# Universal Proxy
GET		/proxyGet/*urlToProxy		controllers.Application.proxyGet(urlToProxy)


# Add this to a Controller class, e.g. Application

import play.api.libs.ws.WS
import play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits._

  def proxyGet(urlToProxy: String) = Action {
    Async {
      WS.url("http://" + urlToProxy).get().map { response =>
        val contentType = response.header("Content-Type").getOrElse("text/plain")
        Ok(response.body).as(contentType)
      }     
    }
  } 

Note: this was for Play 2.1

this is cool - I need to proxy POST as well. Can you point me to any examples?

Hey I am not sure if anyone is still looking but I based a class on this and it has all the requests https://github.com/gdh56/scalaPlayProxy/blob/master/proxy.scala
