HTTP Reverse Proxy Information - does it buffer anything?

<p>Hi All,</p> <p>I&#39;ve managed to convince my team that re-writing one of our proxy services in Go could be great, although there is one question that is blocking us: Does HTTP Reverse Proxy buffer or cache any anything between the client and proxy-ed server? The proxy is used for transferring large amounts of data so having the it buffer on the proxy rather than pass through would be a big issue as it would eat up memory.</p> <p>TL;DR: does <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httputil/#ReverseProxy" rel="nofollow">http reverse proxy</a> buffer anything between the proxy server and client&#39;s requests?</p> <p>Thanks for you answers, CzarSkye</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>Bromlife: <pre><p>I&#39;m only 90% sure without reading the source code, but no, I don&#39;t believe it does.</p> <p>Check the source code for more information: <a href="https://golang.org/src/net/http/httputil/reverseproxy.go" rel="nofollow">https://golang.org/src/net/http/httputil/reverseproxy.go</a></p></pre>
