Package httransform is the framework to build HTTP proxies in Go. This framework is built using fasthttp (https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp) library to provide fast processing of HTTP requests. Also, as fasthttp it actively uses object pooling to reduce the pressure on GC and possibly save a little bit of memory. Unlike its alternative, goproxy (https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy), httransform does not have disadvantages of using net/http: we can keep header case and order. This framework provides features to build robust high-performant HTTP and HTTPS proxies (with the support of the CONNECT method and TLS certificate generation on-the-fly), it supports middleware layers and custom executors. Layers are middlewares which do preprocess of the requests or postprocessing of the response. The thing about layers is that you have to define both directions: to executor and from executor. We encourage to create layers which know as less as possible about each other. If, for example, you raise an error in one layer, this error has to be processed only there, other layers should ignore that. This framework does not restrict any deviations from this rule, but you'll get more simple and clean design if you treat layers as independent as possible. An executor is some function which converts HTTP request to response. In the most simple case, an executor is HTTP client. But also, you can convert the request to JSON, send it somewhere, get ProtoBuf back and convert it to HTTP response. Or you can play with NATS. Or 0mq. Or RabbitMQ. You got the idea. Executor defines the function which converts HTTP request to HTTP response. If any of your layers creates an error, executor won't be called. HTTP response will be converted to 500 response and error would be propagated by the chain of layers back. One scheme worth 1000 words: As you see, the request goes through the all layers forward and backward. This is a contract of this package. Also, the executor does not raise an error. If the request is finished with an error, it has to be terminated within an executor. If executor got an error, it has to write into HTTP response about it. Not let's see what is happening if OnRequest gives an error: Almost the same story: the error is propagated back through the layers. On error, httransform generates a default InternalServerError response, and this error returns back through the chain of layers.
