Open Source SPDY Proxy

Question

Has anyone developed an open source SPDY proxy?

I can't find one via Google, but I believe the Amazon Silk browser uses one?

Answer 1

I wrote SPDY reverse proxy called shrpx in C/C++. It also serves as SSL/SPDY proxy with squid as backend server.

Answer 2

The SPDY proxy has been implemented in jetty:

We've finished the basic documentation which can be found here: http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/spdy-configuring-proxy.html

The proxy is now also able to receive SPDY and talk plain HTTP to an upstream server to terminate SPDY on the frontend servers for example.

Answer 3

Jetty SPDY does not provide directly a SPDY proxy, but provides both SPDY client and SPDY server functionalities - in Java - that are needed to build a proxy.

We may be working on a SPDY proxy in the next future.
