NGiNX reverse proxy can take care of this and does so securely, am I right?
- va1en0k 14y agoProbably they can. However, I don't know anything about using nginx that way. If you give me a link or something like that, I'll happily add it to my article. Or I'll just investigate later.
- jokull 14y agoYeah my bad I read your article assuming you were an API provider not a consumer. In the case of consuming API’s I suggest python-requests, an excellent library that is extremely well maintained.
- rfugger 14y agoNo, nginx is on the server side. The article is about client-side.
- va1en0k 14y agoYou can use nginx as a proxy on your side for any APIs. Just proxy_pass it to the API, and listen only on the local side. It can provide caching and other stuff that way.
- obtu 14y agoYeah, but that's proxy, not reverse proxy. It's possible to do something fiddler-like using apache or nginx to mitm oneself and dump everything that goes through.
- moonboots 14y agoNginx ssl reverse proxy does not verify certificates. I tested by reverse proxying to an ssl server with a self signed certificate. Nginx did not log any warnings or complain.
