Installation

Running

Configuration

This is what the processing chain looks like:

       +------------------+
       |                  |
       |           Header & Cookie set
       v                  |
(1) HAProxy -> (2) *n* DeviceProxies
       |
      (3)
       | (if Cookie or Header set)
       +--------------------------------> (4) *n* Backend Apps
  1. Haproxy receives incoming traffic from Nginx

  2. Request is passed to n number of Device Proxies running. HTTP headers are inserted (possibly from cached WURFL or OpenDDR lookups). Device Proxy has the option of inserting Cookies into the HTTP response which can cache the Device Lookup (for subsequent requests HAProxy (1) could use these cookie values to skip DeviceProxy completely for the lifetime of the Cookie.) DeviceProxy reverse proxies back to HAProxy with HTTP headers inserted.

  3. HAProxy inspects the HTTP headers & cookies received and selects appropriate backend application for the request. HAProxy can have a default fallback backend. If the Cookie is already set then the DeviceProxies are skipped.

  4. The Backend application renders the request with a template set suitable for the given HTTP request.
