PHP Forwarding Proxy

php proxy demo.md

Authentication

.env

  ...
+ PROXY_AUTH_KEY=Bj5pnZEX6DkcG6Nz6AjDUT1bvcGRVhRaXDuKDX9CjsEs2

Approach #1

routes/proxy.php

use Zounar\PHPProxy\Proxy;

/*
 * Dedicate a routes file to 'routes/proxy.php'
 * Register it with prexix 'proxy' --> http://localhost:8000/proxy
 */
Proxy::$AUTH_KEY = getenv('PROXY_AUTH_KEY');

Proxy::run();

die();

Approach #2

routes/web.php routes/api.php

use Zounar\PHPProxy\Proxy;

/**
 * This approach isn't recommended since 
 * the web, api route groups already have various middlewares attached to them.
 */
Route::any('/proxy', function () {
    Proxy::$AUTH_KEY = getenv('PROXY_AUTH_KEY');

    Proxy::run();

    die();
});

Testing

curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:8000/proxy' \
--header 'Proxy-Auth: Bj5pnZEX6DkcG6Nz6AjDUT1bvcGRVhRaXDuKDX9CjsEs2' \
--header 'Proxy-Target-URL: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1'

You should setup CORS on your proxy

• Restrict origins
• Allow all request headers
• Expose all response headers

Run as a standalone script

php -S localhost:8000 -t Proxy.php
