torrent-http-proxy

Special HTTP-proxy that has several features:

1. Routes requests to internal kubernetes resources (services/jobs).

2. Deploys kubernetes job on demand.

   For example if path /08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10/Sintel%2FSintel.mp4 was called then a new torrent-web-seeder job will be started with injected environment variable INFO_HASH=08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10. Proxy will wait until pod will be ready and then proxy requst to it with path /Sintel%2FSintel.mp4. All following requests will be proxied to this pod.

3. Grants HTTP-access to GRPC-services (including jobs)

4. Provides Token-authentication

5. Performs chaining of service calls (matryoshka-style)

   For example /08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10/Sintel%2FSintel.mp4~hls/index.m3u8 will be processed with following steps:

   1. Proxy deploys content-transcoder job with injected environment variable SOURCE_URL=%PROXY_URL%/08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10/Sintel%2FSintel.mp4. ~hls is the keyword that indicates what job or service should be invoked.
   2. content-transcoder requests SOURCE_URL for transcoding.
   3. Proxy deploys torrent-web-seeder job with injected environment variable INFO_HASH=08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10.
   4. Proxy serves /index.m3u8 from content-transcoder

   There might be more services in chain. There is no limitation.
