Simple reverse proxy in Go
package main

"log"
"net/url"
"net/http"
"net/http/httputil"
)
func main() {
remote, err := url.Parse("http://google.com")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
handler := func(p *httputil.ReverseProxy) func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) {

log.Println(r.URL)
r.Host = remote.Host
w.Header().Set("X-Ben", "Rad")
p.ServeHTTP(w, r)

http.HandleFunc("/", handler(proxy))

Made some changes to add support for ssl. And cleanup handler.

`package main

import (
"log"
"net/http"
"net/http/httputil"
"net/url"
"crypto/tls"
)

func main() {
// Replace 'target' with the URL of the server you want to proxy to
target, err := url.Parse("https://example.com")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

// Create a new ReverseProxy instance
proxy := httputil.NewSingleHostReverseProxy(target)
// Configure the reverse proxy to use HTTPS
proxy.Transport = &http.Transport{
    TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true},
}
// Create a handler function that logs the URL and forwards the request to the proxy
handler := func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    log.Println(r.URL)
    r.Host = target.Host
	//w.Header().Set("X-Ben", "radi")
    proxy.ServeHTTP(w, r)
}

// Register the handler function with the HTTP server
http.HandleFunc("/", handler)

// Start the HTTP server
err = http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

}`

Helpful, ta, used this to transparently adjust some query parameters for certain requests.
