Yes this follows common HTTP standards, but what I need is to forward all requests in port 8005 to 3000, but the web server expects the host header to be localhost:3000 (For my specific use case), So, to test that the proxy gateway will work as expected upon deployment, I need to modify the host header. Just curious if this is achievable through this package.

I will look into the docs refs and let you konw if they cover my use case. Thanks for the reply.

Just curious if this is achievable through this package.

Of course. Refer to the following code:

import httpx
from fastapi_proxy_lib.fastapi.app import reverse_http_app
class MyCustomAuth(httpx.Auth):
 def auth_flow(self, request: httpx.Request):
 # whatever you want to do with the headers of the request
 request.headers["host"] = "localhost:3000"
 yield request
app = reverse_http_app(
 client=httpx.AsyncClient(auth=MyCustomAuth()),
 base_url="http://localhost:3000/",
)

Please let me know if it works for you.

In fact, regardless of the request headers received on port 8005, the requests forwarded to port 3000 will always have "host": "localhost:3000". This functionality is available out of the box, so it's quite likely that you don't need to do anything.
