Summary

Added HTTP/HTTPS proxy support to pyth-lazer-agent to enable WebSocket connections through corporate proxies. The implementation includes a manual HTTP CONNECT handshake with proper request building and response parsing, Basic authentication support, and enhanced logging for debugging.

Link to Devin run: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/9950b0a51eae4b2a87edd70073d61223
Requested by: Mike Rolish ([email protected]), @merolish

Rationale

A customer requires proxy support to use pyth-lazer-agent in their corporate environment. The tokio-tungstenite library doesn't support proxies directly, requiring manual implementation of the HTTP CONNECT protocol (RFC 2817).

Changes

Core Implementation

  • Added proxy_url: Option<Url> configuration field to Config struct
  • Implemented connect_through_proxy() function with:
    • Proper HTTP CONNECT request building (not manual string concatenation)
    • Complete HTTP response parsing with status code extraction
    • Support for Basic authentication via URL credentials (e.g., http://user:pass@proxy:port)
    • Reading full response headers until \r\n\r\n terminator detected
    • TLS upgrade for wss:// connections through proxy tunnel
  • Added tokio-native-tls dependency for TLS support
  • Enhanced error messages and logs to include proxy URL for debugging
  • Version bump from 0.6.1 to 0.7.2

Response Parsing Improvements

The refactored implementation provides:

  • Proper HTTP status line parsing (HTTP version, status code, status text)
  • Detailed error messages with actual status codes (not just "failed")
  • Handling of chunked response reading (reads until headers complete)
  • Better edge case handling (empty response, invalid formats, etc.)

How has this been tested?

  • Current tests cover my changes - All existing unit tests pass with the new proxy_url field
  • Added new tests - No integration test with actual proxy server
  • Manually tested the code - ⚠️ NOT tested with a real proxy server

⚠️ Critical Review Areas

This implementation is UNTESTED with an actual proxy server. The customer hasn't provided proxy details yet. Key areas requiring careful review:

1. Security - Credential Logging (HIGH PRIORITY)

Lines 80-81, 88-90, 102, 131-135 in relayer_session.rs:

  • Proxy URLs with embedded credentials are logged in plaintext (http://user:pass@proxy:port)
  • This was added for debugging but creates a security risk
  • Consider: Should we redact credentials in logs? Use separate auth config?

2. Response Parsing Robustness (MEDIUM PRIORITY)

Lines 88-136:

  • Reads until \r\n\r\n detected, but no timeout - could hang indefinitely
  • 1024-byte buffer per read - is this sufficient for all proxies?
  • Assumes UTF-8 response (uses from_utf8_lossy) - could mask binary issues
  • Only validates status code, doesn't parse other response headers (Proxy-Authenticate, etc.)

3. Error Handling Gaps (MEDIUM PRIORITY)

Lines 125-134:

  • Returns generic error for non-200 status codes
  • Doesn't specifically handle:
    • 401/407 (auth failures) - should indicate auth problem
    • 502/503 (proxy unavailable) - should suggest retry
    • Timeout scenarios - needs timeout mechanism

4. Authentication Limitations (LOW PRIORITY)

Lines 67-73:

  • Only supports Basic auth, not Digest, NTLM, etc.
  • No validation that proxy URL scheme is http/https only
  • Empty passwords allowed (might break some proxies)

5. TLS Through Proxy (LOW PRIORITY)

Lines 144-166:

  • Uses tokio-native-tls for TLS upgrade
  • Will domain validation work correctly through tunnel?
  • No verification that TLS connection is actually secure post-CONNECT

Testing Recommendations

Before merging, this should be tested with:

  1. Unauthenticated HTTP proxy
  2. HTTP proxy with Basic auth
  3. HTTPS proxy (if applicable)
  4. Proxy that returns non-200 status codes
  5. Proxy that times out or sends incomplete responses

Note on Diff Size

⚠️ The cumulative diff appears to include unrelated changes (cryptocurrency-icons removal, TON SDK updates, etc.) that were likely merged into this branch from other work. The actual changes for this PR are in apps/pyth-lazer-agent/ only.

Add proxy_url configuration option to support connecting through HTTP/HTTPS
proxies. Implements manual HTTP CONNECT handshake with Basic authentication
support and TLS upgrade for secure WebSocket connections.

- Add proxy_url: Option<Url> to Config struct
- Implement connect_through_proxy function with HTTP CONNECT method
- Support Basic authentication via proxy URL credentials
- Add tokio-native-tls dependency for TLS support
- Update README with proxy configuration examples
- Bump version from 0.6.1 to 0.7.0

- Add proxy URL to error messages when sending/reading CONNECT requests
- Add proxy URL to success log after proxy connection
- Add proxy URL to final WebSocket success log for better traceability

happy for this to be merged to unblock release. we can revisit this whole setup and use some less heavy-handed abstraction layer in the future
