    module Revproxy: sig .. end

Revproxy: Forward a request to another Web server

If you want to use this extension with Ocsigen Server's configuration file, have a look at the . If you are using Ocsigen Server as a library, use the interface described here. Each of these functions behaves exactly as its configuration file counterpart.

This module belongs to ocamlfind package `ocsigenserver.ext.revproxy`.

Example of use. Forward all requests to a given directory to the same directory of another server running locally on another port. We are using it in combination with to rewrite redirections.

    let _ =
       Ocsigen_server.start
         [ Ocsigen_server.host ~regexp:".*"
           [ Revproxy.run
               ~redirection:(Revproxy.create_redirection
                               ~full_url:false
                               ~regexp:"(othersite/.* )"
                               ~keephost:true
                               "https://localhost:8123/\\1")
               ()
            ; Outputfilter.run
                ~mode:(`Rewrite (Ocsigen_header.Name.location,
                                 "http://localhost:8123/(.* )",
                                 "http://my.publicaddress.org/\\1"))
                ()
     ]]

    val section : Lwt_log_core.section

use Lwt_log.Section.set_level in order to set the log level

    type redirection

    val create_redirection : ?full_url:bool ->
           ?pipeline:bool ->
           ?keephost:bool -> regexp:string -> string -> redirection

    val run : redirection:redirection -> unit -> Ocsigen_server.instruction

`run ~redirection ()` makes it possible to use this extension without configuration file.
