I am writing a "partial proxy" in Mojolicious::Lite. Certain requests (depending on the query path, and on the values of the parameters) generate a request to another server, while others are handled locally.
There is a nice proxy example, but it totally overrides the request/response handling and thus is not suitable to my needs.
Currently, I am marshalling the response via
$self->render(data => $res->body, code => $res->code);
Unfortunately, this does not take into account different content types. Using Mojolicious::Type does not help,
because I need a reverse mapping from the content type
in $res to the format in render(); besides,
the number of possible render formats is significantly smaller
than the number of possible content types.
So ideally, instead of the $self->render() call above
I need a way to say "here, I got a response in $res;
please return it back to the client as is".
Any ideas? Thanks!
Ok, the trick was to replace render() call with
$self->tx->res($res);
$self->rendered($res->code);
