DESCRIPTION

This module handles HTTP requests as a forward proxy server.

Its job is to set a plack.proxy.url environment variable based on REQUEST_URI variable.

The HTTP responses from the Internet might be invalid. In that case it is required to run the server without Plack::Middleware::Lint module. This module is started by default and disabled if -E or --no-default-middleware option is used when starting plackup script. Note that this disable also Plack::Middleware::AccessLog so it have to be enabled explicitly if needed.

The default server Plack::Server::PSGI alias Standalone can hang up on stalled connection. It is better to run proxy server with Starlet, Starman or Twiggy.
