A single-file Java servlet that acts as an HTTP reverse proxy, built on Apache HttpClient. It lets Java web applications forward requests to other hosts, useful for AJAX apps needing to reach services on different origins.

Use cases

proxy AJAX requests to another host from a Java web app
embed a reverse proxy inside a Java servlet application
avoid CORS issues by proxying third-party APIs through my server
forward requests to a backend service behind a Java web application
securely proxy web services with Spring Security filters
test my web app against proxied upstream services

When to choose

you need a simple, well-tested HTTP proxy embedded in an existing Java servlet container
you want a lightweight alternative to a full proxy server like Nginx for a Java web app
you need to extend or customize proxy behavior via subclassing or HttpClient configuration

When to avoid

you need a high-performance standalone forward proxy or full-featured gateway
you are not running a Java servlet-based web application
you need advanced features like load balancing, caching, or TLS termination
