Greetings, people of Vala
I try to build an HTTP proxy with libsoup underneath. I realized it like
[0], and this solution works well.
Unfortunately, as the calls to the target hosts are done synchronously,
it's blocking the gui in the time that calls are done. Besides as a
result, the proxy also is awfully slow.
I tried to fix that using [1]. I substituted the Soup.SessionSync and
used a Soup.SessionAsync instead. Further i do not send the method by
using .send_message(SoupMessage m) but using .queue_message(SoupMessage
m, callback). The outcome of that also is pretty unexpected. The
messages are returned to the browser with a status code of 1 and an
observation with wireshark revealed, that the packages are never being
sent to the target host.
Why is that?
Most interestingly: The Async-Example from the documentation works with
my Vala-Setup.
I use Vala 0.16.1
