alt Hacker NewsWhy aren’t you using HTTP proxying if the underlying protocol is HTTP?
TCP proxying, in my experience, is typically only used for routing TLS or other non-HTTP TCP requests. In the former case, the proxy should not be able to observe the requests and responses.
We currently only provide TCP load balancers, so HTTP-level proxying was not an option. Since the customer was not using TLS, this solution worked.
