It accepts a backend URL and optional HTTP client backend (requests, urllib3, or Python's built-in httplib) to handle the actual HTTP communication. The proxy integrates with WSGI frameworks like webob, allowing you to treat a remote application as if it were a local WSGI app.\n\nThe package is minimal and focused: it handles request forwarding, response streaming (when using the requests backend), and method filtering. It has been dormant since 2021-08-26, with no active maintenance, so it is best suited for stable, low-change use cases where you need a simple reverse proxy layer in a WSGI stack.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple, lightweight WSGI reverse proxy and are comfortable with dormant maintenance. The package has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. However, do not use it if you require active support, compatibility guarantees beyond Python 3.7\u20133.9, or modern connection pooling features\u2014verify compatibility with your WSGI framework first."},"id":"wsgiproxy2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wsgiproxy2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wsgiproxy2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/wsgiproxy2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-08-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"WSGIProxy2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A WSGI Proxy with various http client backends"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":154864,"position":10843,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.1"}
