drf-reverse-proxy

Overview

This is a Django REST Framework port of the excellent django-revproxy (https://github.com/TracyWebTech/django-revproxy) library.

This port allows you to reverse proxy HTTP requests while still utilizing DRF features such as authentication, permissions and throttling.

This library works exactly like the django-revproxy library, the documentation for django-revproxy can be found at: http://django-revproxy.readthedocs.org/

Features

• Proxies all HTTP methods: HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, TRACE, CONNECT and PATCH
• Copy all http headers sent from the client to the proxied server
• Copy all http headers sent from the proxied server to the client (except hop-by-hop <http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.5.1>_)
• Basic URL rewrite
• Handles redirects
• Few external dependencies
• Maintains the usability of DRF features like authentication, permissions and throttling.

• Django (1.8, 1.9, 1.10)
• Django REST Framework (3.3, 3.4, 3.5)
