Name
kf proxy-route - Start a local reverse proxy to a Route
Synopsis
kf proxy-route ROUTE [flags]
Description
Proxy route creates a reverse HTTP proxy to the cluster's gateway on a local port opened on the operating system's loopback device.
The proxy rewrites all HTTP requests, changing the HTTP Host header to match the Route. If multiple Apps are mapped to the same route, the traffic sent over the proxy will follow their routing rules with regards to weight. If no Apps are mapped to the route, traffic sent through the proxy will return a HTTP 404 status code.
Proxy route DOES NOT establish a direct connection to any Kubernetes resource.
For proxy to work:
The cluster's gateway MUST be accessible from your local machine.
The Route MUST have a public URL
Examples
kf proxy-route myhost.example.com
Flags
--gateway=string
HTTP gateway to route requests to (default: autodetected from cluster)
-h, --help
help for proxy-route
--port=int
Local port to listen on (default 8080)
Inherited flags
These flags are inherited from parent commands.
--config=string
Config file (default is $HOME/.kf)
--kubeconfig=string
Kubectl config file (default is $HOME/.kube/config)
--log-http
Log HTTP requests to stderr
--space=string
Space to run the command against. This overrides the currently targeted space
