Reverse-proxying

[makew0rld]

Feature request.

Gig looks great, nice work! I was wondering if reverse-proxying is on your roadmap, so all requests under a certain route or whatever is sent to a different Gemini server.

this can be implemented using Context.Stream() or Context.Response() (which implements io.Writer interface), and using match-all routes, eg. g.Handle("/proxy/*",..). But a builtin middleware would be nicer if it would be contributed :)

As Michael noted in this comment this would break client certificates, but there might be other solutions like SNI proxies. Thanks for the info though.

I thought you meant more of an tls-terminating proxy where server makes request on behalf of client, similar to how if I had an https proxy, it would make a separate connection to another https resource and pass response back to client

Yes, that is what I was thinking originally. I only brought up SNI proxies because Michael did, and I think it's an interesting solution. The end result in most cases would be the same, better even, because client certs would remain intact.
