Hello,
the first version of sec-wall, a feature packed high-performance
security proxy, has just been released.
sec-wall has many interesting features, including the support SSL/TLS,
WS-Security, HTTP Auth Basic/Digest, extensible authentication schemes
based on custom HTTP headers and XPath expressions, powerful URL
matching/rewriting and an optional headers enrichment.
sec-wall uses and is built on top of several fantastic Python open
source technologies, such as gevent, Spring Python, pesto, lxml, zdaemon
or PyYAML and is meant to be highly customizable and easy to use. Good
performance, tests, documentation and building an awesome community are
at the very heart of the project.
Here's an example showing how little is needed to secure a backend
server with HTTP Basic Auth.
# ######################################################

# Don't share it with anyone.
INSTANCE_SECRET = '5bf4e78c256746eda2ce3e0e73f256d0'
# May be shared with the outside world.
INSTANCE_UNIQUE = uuid.uuid4().hex
def default():
return {
'basic-auth':True,
'basic-auth-username':'MyUser',
'basic-auth-password':'MySecret',
'basic-auth-realm':'Secure area',
'host': 'http://example.com'
}
urls = [
