proxy.rs

//! A proxy that forwards data to another server and forwards that server's
//! responses back to clients.
//!
//! Because the Tokio runtime uses a thread pool, each TCP connection is
//! processed concurrently with all other TCP connections across multiple
//! threads.
//!
//! You can showcase this by running this in one terminal:
//!
//!     cargo run --example proxy
//!
//! This in another terminal
//!
//!     cargo run --example echo
//!
//! And finally this in another terminal
//!
//!     cargo run --example connect 127.0.0.1:8081
//!
//! This final terminal will connect to our proxy, which will in turn connect to
//! the echo server, and you'll be able to see data flowing between them.
