I am trying to implement a HTTP server in Golang that receives requests from an Amazon ELB that uses the proxy protocol. Now I'd like to know what the original IP address is and so I was thinking about using this package.
Now this package talks raws HTTP as far as I can tell but my server implements a higher level HTTP server with a router.
I am having trouble translating between them. My question is this: how do I use this library and still use a router like gorilla/mux? Now there's nothing special about this package, it just talks at a lower level than HTTP.
Example:
// Listen on TCP port 2000 on all interfaces.
l, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":2000")
// proxyproxy is the library that maintains the source ip address for me
proxyList := &proxyproto.Listener{Listener: list}
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer proxyList.Close()
for {
// Wait for a connection.
conn, err := proxyList.Accept()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Handle the connection in a new goroutine.
// The loop then returns to accepting, so that
// multiple connections may be served concurrently.
go func(c net.Conn) {
// how do I connect my router
}(conn)
}
