Example showing an HTTP Proxy implemented with BlackSheep

Run the Flask application:

python flask_app/server.py

Run the BlackSheep proxy application:

python blacksheep_proxy/server.py

Open the file "example.html" and use its forms to test uploading to the Flask server directly (uploaded files should be written to the out folder), and test uploading to the BlackSheep proxy. The result should be the same.

Note

The example proxy in blacksheep_proxy handles memory in the proper way:

• it reads input streams as chunks (never whole in memory)
• it reads response streams from the back-end in chunks (never whole in memory)

It always sends response contents backs using Transfer-Encoding: chunked, which might or might not be desirable, but ensures memory is handled efficiently.

Other example

other-example.html is similar to example.html, with the exception that both the back-end app and the proxy server are implemented using BlackSheep.

Run the frst BlackSheep application:

python blacksheep_app/server.py

Run the BlackSheep proxy application:

python blacksheep_proxy/server.py

Open other-example.html in a browser.
