Creating a proxy to another web api with Asp.net core

I ended up implementing a proxy middleware inspired by a project in Asp.Net's GitHub.

It basically implements a middleware that reads the request received, creates a copy from it and sends it back to a configured service, reads the response from the service and sends it back to the caller.

If anyone is interested, I took the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Proxy code and made it a little better with middleware.

Check it out here: https://github.com/twitchax/AspNetCore.Proxy. NuGet here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/AspNetCore.Proxy/. Microsoft archived the other one mentioned in this post, and I plan on responding to any issues on this project.

Basically, it makes reverse proxying another web server a lot easier by allowing you to use attributes on methods that take a route with args and compute the proxied address.

[ProxyRoute("api/searchgoogle/{query}")]
public static Task<string> SearchGoogleProxy(string query)
{
    // Get the proxied address.
    return Task.FromResult($"https://www.google.com/search?q={query}");
}
