Class AbstractProxyServlet

java.lang.Object
jakarta.servlet.GenericServlet

org.eclipse.jetty.proxy.AbstractProxyServlet
All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:
AsyncMiddleManServlet, ProxyServlet
public abstract class AbstractProxyServlet extends jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Abstract base class for proxy servlets.

Forwards requests to another server either as a standard web reverse proxy or as a transparent reverse proxy (as defined by RFC 7230).

To facilitate JMX monitoring, the HttpClient instance is set as ServletContext attribute, prefixed with this servlet's name and exposed by the mechanism provided by ServletContext.setAttribute(String, Object).

The following init parameters may be used to configure the servlet:

  • preserveHost - the host header specified by the client is forwarded to the server
  • hostHeader - forces the host header to a particular value
  • viaHost - the name to use in the Via header: Via: http/1.1 <viaHost>
  • whiteList - comma-separated list of allowed proxy hosts
  • blackList - comma-separated list of forbidden proxy hosts

In addition, see createHttpClient() for init parameters used to configure the HttpClient instance.

NOTE: By default the Host header sent to the server by this proxy servlet is the server's host name. However, this breaks redirects. Set preserveHost to true to make redirects working, although this may break server's virtual host selection.

The default behavior of not preserving the Host header mimics the default behavior of Apache httpd and Nginx, which both have a way to be configured to preserve the Host header.

      Creates a HttpClient instance, configured with init parameters of this servlet.

      The init parameters used to configure the HttpClient instance are:

      Init Parameters
      init-param default description
      maxThreads 256 The max number of threads of HttpClient's Executor. If not set, or set to the value of "-", then the Jetty server thread pool will be used.
      maxConnections 32768 The max number of connections per destination, see HttpClient.setMaxConnectionsPerDestination(int)
      idleTimeout 30000 The idle timeout in milliseconds, see HttpClient.setIdleTimeout(long)
      timeout 60000 The total timeout in milliseconds, see Request.timeout(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)
      requestBufferSize HttpClient's default The request buffer size, see HttpClient.setRequestBufferSize(int)
      responseBufferSize HttpClient's default The response buffer size, see HttpClient.setResponseBufferSize(int)
      selectors cores / 2 The number of NIO selectors used by HttpClient
      Returns:
      a HttpClient configured from the servlet configuration
      Throws:
      jakarta.servlet.ServletException - if the HttpClient cannot be created
      See Also:

    • newHttpClient

      protected HttpClient newHttpClient()
      The servlet init parameter 'selectors' can be set for the number of selector threads to be used by the HttpClient.
      Returns:
      a new HttpClient instance

    • validateDestination

      public boolean validateDestination(String host, int port)
      Checks the given host and port against whitelist and blacklist.
      Parameters:
      host - the host to check
      port - the port to check
      Returns:
      true if it is allowed to be proxy to the given host and port

    • rewriteTarget

      protected String rewriteTarget(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest clientRequest)

    • onProxyRewriteFailed

      protected void onProxyRewriteFailed(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest clientRequest, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse proxyResponse)

      Callback method invoked when the URI rewrite performed in rewriteTarget(HttpServletRequest) returns null indicating that no rewrite can be performed.

      It is possible to use blocking API in this method, like HttpServletResponse.sendError(int).

      Parameters:
      clientRequest - the client request
      proxyResponse - the client response

    • addViaHeader

      protected void addViaHeader(Request proxyRequest)
      Adds the HTTP Via header to the proxied request.
      Parameters:
      proxyRequest - the request being proxied
      See Also:

    • addViaHeader

      protected void addViaHeader(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest clientRequest, Request proxyRequest)

      Adds the HTTP Via header to the proxied request, taking into account data present in the client request.

      This method considers the protocol of the client request when forming the proxied request. If it is HTTP, then the protocol name will not be included in the Via header that is sent by the proxy, and only the protocol version will be sent. If it is not, the entire protocol (name and version) will be included. If the client request includes a Via header, the result will be appended to that to form a chain.

      Parameters:
      clientRequest - the client request
      proxyRequest - the request being proxied
