Instead of copying the headers one at a time, could this do what the http server example does?

Done in the simplified example.

And similarly, could this avoid copying headers individually?

For now, can we map io errors to ErrorVariant::BodyIo error?

I am constructing a std::io::Error now.

Using start_request works here, though is a little more verbose than needed for a simple proxy. If you change the request above to use .body(server_req.into_body()), then you can use plain send instead of start_request and manually copying the body.

Similar to above, this can do server_resp.body(client_resp.into_body()) and plain respond.

Thanks for the code review. I wanted to show a streaming example, as it took me a while to get it, but I understand that having something more simple might be useful as well. I have fixed the TODO and created |
This is a proposal to add a HTTP proxy example as it seems to be a common use case.
