HTTP::Proxy - A pure Perl HTTP proxy

SYNOPSIS

Top

    use HTTP::Proxy;

    # initialisation
    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new( port => 3128 );

    # alternate initialisation
    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new;
    $proxy->port( 3128 ); # the classical accessors are here!

    # this is a MainLoop-like method
    $proxy->start;

DESCRIPTION

Top

This module implements a HTTP proxy, using a HTTP::Daemon to accept client connections, and a LWP::UserAgent to ask for the requested pages.

The most interesting feature of this proxy object is its ability to filter the HTTP requests and responses through user-defined filters.

Once the proxy is created, with the new() method, it is possible to alter its behaviour by adding so-called "filters". This is done by the push_filter() method. Once the filter is ready to run, it can be launched, with the start() method. This method does not normally return until the proxy is killed or otherwise stopped.

An important thing to note is that the proxy is (except when running the NoFork engine) a forking proxy: it doesn't support passing information between child processes, and you can count on reliable information passing only during a single HTTP connection (request + response).

FILTERS

Top

You can alter the way the default HTTP::Proxy works by plugging callbacks (filter objects, actually) at different stages of the request/response handling.

When a request is received by the HTTP::Proxy object, it is filtered through a standard filter that transform this request accordingly to RFC 2616 (by adding the Via: header, and a few other transformations). This is the default, bare minimum behaviour.

The response is also filtered in the same manner. There is a total of four filter chains: request-headers, request-body, reponse-headers and response-body.

You can add your own filters to the default ones with the push_filter() method. The method pushes a filter on the appropriate filter stack.

    $proxy->push_filter( response => $filter );

The headers/body category is determined by the base class of the filter. There are two base classes for filters, which are HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter and HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter (the names are self-explanatory). See the documentation of those two classes to find out how to write your own header or body filters.

The named parameter is used to determine the request/response part.

It is possible to push the same filter on the request and response stacks, as in the following example:

    $proxy->push_filter( request => $filter, response => $filter );

If several filters match the message, they will be applied in the order they were pushed on their filter stack.

Named parameters can be used to create the match routine. They are:

    method - the request method
    scheme - the URI scheme         
    host   - the URI authority (host:port)
    path   - the URI path
    query  - the URI query string
    mime   - the MIME type (for a response-body filter)

The filters are applied only when all the the parameters match the request or the response. All these named parameters have default values, which are:

    method => 'OPTIONS,GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,DELETE,TRACE,CONNECT'
    scheme => 'http'
    host   => ''
    path   => ''
    query  => ''
    mime   => 'text/*'

The mime parameter is a glob-like string, with a required / character and a * as a joker. Thus, */* matches all responses, and "" those with no Content-Type: header. To match any reponse (with or without a Content-Type: header), use undef.

The mime parameter is only meaningful with the response-body filter stack. It is ignored if passed to any other filter stack.

The method and scheme parameters are strings consisting of comma-separated values. The host and path parameters are regular expressions.

A match routine is compiled by the proxy and used to check if a particular request or response must be filtered through a particular filter.

It is also possible to push several filters on the same stack with the same match subroutine:

    # convert italics to bold
    $proxy->push_filter(
        mime     => 'text/html',
        response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::tags->new(),
        response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::simple->new(
            sub { ${ $_[1] } =~ s!(</?)i>!$1b>!ig }
        )
    );

For more details regarding the creation of new filters, check the HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter and HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter documentation.

Here's an example of subclassing a base filter class:

    # fixes a common typo ;-)
    # but chances are that this will modify a correct URL
    {
        package FilterPerl;
        use base qw( HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter );

        sub filter {
            my ( $self, $dataref, $message, $protocol, $buffer ) = @_;
            $$dataref =~ s/PERL/Perl/g;
        }
    }
    $proxy->push_filter( response => FilterPerl->new() );

Other examples can be found in the documentation for HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter, HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter, HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple, HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::simple.

    # a simple anonymiser
    # see eg/anonymiser.pl for the complete code
    $proxy->push_filter(
        mime    => undef,
        request => HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple->new(
            sub { $_[0]->remove_header(qw( User-Agent From Referer Cookie )) },
        ),
        response => HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple->new(
            sub { $_[0]->remove_header(qw( Set-Cookie )); },
        )
    );

IMPORTANT: If you use your own LWP::UserAgent, you must install it before your calls to push_filter(), otherwise the match method will make wrong assumptions about the schemes your agent supports.

NOTE: It is likely that possibility of changing the agent or the daemon may disappear in future versions.

METHODS

Top

Constructor and initialisation

new()

The new() method creates a new HTTP::Proxy object. All attributes can be passed as parameters to replace the default.

Parameters that are not HTTP::Proxy attributes will be ignored and passed to the chosen HTTP::Proxy::Engine object.

init()

init() initialise the proxy without starting it. It is usually not needed.

This method is called by start() if needed.

push_filter()

The push_filter() method is used to add filters to the proxy. It is fully described in section FILTERS.

Accessors and mutators

The HTTP::Proxy has several accessors and mutators.

Called with arguments, the accessor returns the current value. Called with a single argument, it sets the current value and returns the previous one, in case you want to keep it.

If you call a read-only accessor with a parameter, this parameter will be ignored.

The defined accessors are (in alphabetical order):

agent

The LWP::UserAgent object used internally to connect to remote sites.

chunk

The chunk size for the LWP::UserAgent callbacks.

client_socket (read-only)

The socket currently connected to the client. Mostly useful in filters.

client_headers

This attribute holds a reference to the client headers set up by LWP::UserAgent (Client-Aborted, Client-Bad-Header-Line, Client-Date, Client-Junk, Client-Peer, Client-Request-Num, Client-Response-Num, Client-SSL-Cert-Issuer, Client-SSL-Cert-Subject, Client-SSL-Cipher, Client-SSL-Warning, Client-Transfer-Encoding, Client-Warning).

They are removed by the filter HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::standard from the request and response objects received by the proxy.

If a filter (such as a SSL certificate verification filter) need to access them, it must do it through this accessor.

conn (read-only)

The number of connections processed by this HTTP::Proxy instance.

daemon

The HTTP::Daemon object used to accept incoming connections. (You usually never need this.)

engine

The HTTP::Proxy::Engine object that manages the child processes.

hop_headers

This attribute holds a reference to the hop-by-hop headers (Connection, Keep-Alive, Proxy-Authenticate, Proxy-Authorization, TE, Trailers, Transfer-Encoding, Upgrade).

They are removed by the filter HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::standard from the request and response objects received by the proxy.

If a filter (such as a proxy authorisation filter) need to access them, it must do it through this accessor.

host

The proxy HTTP::Daemon host (default: 'localhost').

This means that by default, the proxy answers only to clients on the local machine. You can pass a specific interface address or ""/undef for any interface.

This default prevents your proxy to be used as an anonymous proxy by script kiddies.

known_methods( @groups ) (read-only)

This method returns all HTTP (and extensions to HTTP) known to HTTP::Proxy. Methods are grouped by type. Known method groups are: HTTP, WebDAV and DeltaV.

Called with an empty list, this method will return all known methods. This method is case-insensitive, and will carp() if an unknown group name is passed.

logfh

A filehandle to a logfile (default: *STDERR).

logmask( [$mask] )

Be verbose in the logs (default: NONE).

Here are the various elements that can be added to the mask (their values are powers of 2, starting from 0 and listed here in ascending order):

    NONE    - Log only errors
    PROXY   - Proxy information
    STATUS  - Requested URL, reponse status and total number
              of connections processed
    PROCESS - Subprocesses information (fork, wait, etc.)
    SOCKET  - Information about low-level sockets
    HEADERS - Full request and response headers are sent along
    FILTERS - Filter information
    DATA    - Data received by the filters
    CONNECT - Data transmitted by the CONNECT method
    ENGINE  - Engine information
    ALL     - Log all of the above

If you only want status and process information, you can use:

    $proxy->logmask( STATUS | PROCESS );

Note that all the logging constants are not exported by default, but by the :log tag. They can also be exported one by one.

loop (read-only)

Internal. False when the main loop is about to be broken.

max_clients
maxchild

The maximum number of child process the HTTP::Proxy object will spawn to handle client requests (default: depends on the engine).

This method is currently delegated to the HTTP::Proxy::Engine object.

maxchild is deprecated and will disappear.

max_connections
maxconn

The maximum number of TCP connections the proxy will accept before returning from start(). 0 (the default) means never stop accepting connections.

maxconn is deprecated.

Note: max_connections will be deprecated soon, for two reasons: 1) it is more of an HTTP::Proxy::Engine attribute, 2) not all engines will support it.

max_keep_alive_requests
maxserve

The maximum number of requests the proxy will serve in a single connection. (same as MaxRequestsPerChild in Apache)

maxserve is deprecated.

port

The proxy HTTP::Daemon port (default: 8080).

request

The request originaly received by the proxy from the user-agent, which will be modified by the request filters.

response

The response received from the origin server by the proxy. It is normally undef until the proxy actually receives the beginning of a response from the origin server.

If one of the request filters sets this attribute, it "short-circuits" the request/response scheme, and the proxy will return this response (which is NOT filtered through the response filter stacks) instead of the expected origin server response. This is useful for caching (though Squid does it much better) and proxy authentication, for example.

stash

The stash is a hash where filters can store data to share between them.

The stash() method can be used to set the whole hash (with a HASH reference). To access individual keys simply do:

    $proxy->stash( 'bloop' );

To set it, type:

    $proxy->stash( bloop => 'owww' );

It's also possibly to get a reference to the stash:

    my $s = $filter->proxy->stash();
    $s->{bang} = 'bam';

    # $proxy->stash( 'bang' ) will now return 'bam'

Warning: since the proxy forks for each TCP connection, the data is only shared between filters in the same child process.

timeout

The timeout used by the internal LWP::UserAgent (default: 60).

url (read-only)

The url where the proxy can be reached.

via

The content of the Via: header. Setting it to an empty string will prevent its addition. (default: $hostname (HTTP::Proxy/$VERSION))

x_forwarded_for

If set to a true value, the proxy will send the X-Forwarded-For: header. (default: true)

Connection handling methods

start()

This method works like Tk's MainLoop: you hand over control to the HTTP::Proxy object you created and configured.

If maxconn is not zero, start() will return after accepting at most that many connections. It will return the total number of connexions.

serve_connections()

This is the internal method used to handle each new TCP connection to the proxy.

Other methods

log( $level, $prefix, $message )

Adds $message at the end of logfh, if $level matches logmask. The log() method also prints a timestamp.

The output looks like:

    [Thu Dec  5 12:30:12 2002] ($$) $prefix: $message

where $$ is the current processus id.

If $message is a multiline string, several log lines will be output, each line starting with $prefix.

is_protocol_supported( $scheme )

Returns a boolean indicating if $scheme is supported by the proxy.

This method is only used internaly.

It is essential to allow HTTP::Proxy users to create "pseudo-schemes" that LWP doesn't know about, but that one of the proxy filters can handle directly. New schemes are added as follows:

    $proxy->init();    # required to get an agent
    $proxy->agent->protocols_allowed(
        [ @{ $proxy->agent->protocols_allowed }, 'myhttp' ] );

new_connection()

Increase the proxy's TCP connections counter. Only used by HTTP::Proxy::Engine objects.

Apache-like attributes

HTTP::Proxy has several Apache-like attributes that control the way the HTTP and TCP connections are handled.

The following attributes control the TCP connection. They are passed to the underlying HTTP::Proxy::Engine, which may (or may not) use them to change its behaviour.

start_servers

Number of child process to fork at the beginning.

max_clients

Maximum number of concurrent TCP connections (i.e. child processes).

max_requests_per_child

Maximum number of TCP connections handled by the same child process.

min_spare_servers

Minimum number of inactive child processes.

max_spare_servers

Maximum number of inactive child processes.

Those attributes control the HTTP connection:

keep_alive

Support for keep alive HTTP connections.

max_keep_alive_requests

Maximum number of HTTP connections within a single TCP connection.

keep_alive_timeout

Timeout for keep-alive connection.

EXPORTED SYMBOLS

Top

No symbols are exported by default. The :log tag exports all the logging constants.

BUGS

Top

This module does not work under Windows, but I can't see why, and do not have a development platform under that system. Patches and explanations very welcome.

I guess it is because fork() is not well supported.

    $proxy->maxchild(0);

However, David Fishburn says:

This did not work for me under WinXP - ActiveState Perl 5.6, but it DOES work on WinXP ActiveState Perl 5.8.

Several people have tried to help, but we haven't found a way to make it work correctly yet.

As from version 0.16, the default engine is HTTP::Proxy::Engine::NoFork. Let me know if it works better.

The module has its own web page at http://http-proxy.mongueurs.net/ complete with older versions and repository snapshot.

There are also two mailing-lists: http-proxy@mongueurs.net for general discussion about HTTP::Proxy and http-proxy-cvs@mongueurs.net for CVS commits emails.

THANKS

Top

Many people helped me during the development of this module, either on mailing-lists, IRC or over a beer in a pub...

So, in no particular order, thanks to the libwww-perl team for such a terrific suite of modules, perl-qa (tips for testing), the French Perl Mongueurs (for code tricks, beers and encouragements) and my growing user base... ;-)

I'd like to particularly thank Dan Grigsby, who's been using HTTP::Proxy since 2003 (before the filter classes even existed). He is apparently making a living from a product based on HTTP::Proxy. Thanks a lot for your confidence in my work!
