I'm attempting to redirect all requests in sanic web server. So, for example, if someone went to localhost:5595/example/hi it would forward to a website. I know how to normally do that in sanic, but it would be to slow to redirect 100 urls. Is there any faster way of doing this?
I am not 100% sure if this is the answer you are looking for. But, if you are asking about making a super crude proxy server in Sanic to redirect all requests, something like this would do (see server1.py).
# server1.py
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import redirect
app = Sanic("server1")
@app.route("/<path:path>")
async def proxy(request, path):
return redirect(f"http://localhost:9992/{path}")
app.run(port=9991)
And so we have a place for traffic to go:
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import text
app = Sanic("server1")
@app.route("/<foo>/<bar>")
async def endpoint(request, foo, bar):
return text(f"Did you know {foo=} and {bar=}?")
app.run(port=9992)
Now, let's test it out:
$ curl localhost:9991/hello/world -Li
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://localhost:9992/hello/world
content-length: 0
connection: keep-alive
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-length: 35
connection: keep-alive
content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Did you know foo='hello' and bar='world'?
