API SSLinger

Slinging SSL round HTTP calls

API Proxy to provide SSL wrapper to upstream APIs. Useful for older applications that do not support modern TLS standards (e.g. TLS 1.2)

Example

curl http://localhost:5000/api.google.com/api/v3/some-awesome-api -H 'AllHeadersGet: PassedOn' -d 'As well as any data (and method...)' -XPOST

Result: HTTPS call to api.google.com.

Quickstart

Install

virtualenv -p python3 .
. ./bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Start

python3 ./server.py

Usage

python3 ./server.py <Host> <Port>

Environment variables

• DEBUG - Set to 'true' to enable debug (default: disabled)
• THREADING - Set to 'false' to disable (defaults on)
• https_proxy - Set to upstream https proxy (default: '')

Notes

This is only meant for APIs, as general websitess have a lot of (absolute) relative paths that do not work, as well as redirects etc.
