Reverse proxy middleware

This quickstart will cover how to deploy a small piece of middleware that reverse proxies another server (in this case example.com). For additional examples of common middleware functions, see the example gallery.

Step 1: Create a new playground project on Deno Deploy Jump to heading#

Navigate to https://dash.deno.com/projects and click on the "New Playground" button.

Step 2: Deploy middleware code via playground Jump to heading#

On the next page, copy and paste the code below into the editor. It is an HTTP server that proxies all requests to https://example.com.

async function reqHandler(req: Request) {
  const reqPath = new URL(req.url).pathname;
  return await fetch("https://example.com" + reqPath, { headers: req.headers });
}

Deno.serve(reqHandler);

Click Save and Deploy.

You should see something like this:
