Quickstart

Installation

$ pip install django-revproxy

If you want to use DiazoProxyView you will also need to install Diazo. In that case you can use the following handy shortcurt:

$ pip install django-revproxy[diazo]

Configuration

After installation, you’ll need to configure your application to use django-revproxy. Start by adding revproxy to your settings.py file as follows:

#Add 'revproxy' to INSTALLED_APPS.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'revproxy.apps.RevProxyConfig',
    # ...
)

Next, you’ll need to create a View that extends revproxy.views.ProxyView and set the upstrem attribute:

from revproxy.views import ProxyView

class TestProxyView(ProxyView):
    upstream = 'http://example.com'

And now add your view in the urls.py:

from django.urls import re_path

from myapp.views import TestProxyView

urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'(?P<path>.*)', TestProxyView.as_view()),
]

Alternatively you could just use the default ProxyView as follow:

from django.urls import re_path

from revproxy.views import ProxyView

urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'(?P<path>.*)', ProxyView.as_view(upstream='http://example.com/')),
]

After starting your test server you should see the content of http://example.com/ on http://localhost:8000/.
