[question] is it possible to create alias for remote url
eg: instead of this
http://localhost:8080/500/https://octodex.github.com/images/codercat.jpg
we can create alias like octo and url will become this
http://localhost:8080/500/octo/images/codercat.jpg
Would you accept a PR for such feature? I'm not familiar with Go but I could give a try if you can point me to where to look at.
Given the existing baseURL support, this seems to be of somewhat limited value at the cost of additional complexity. So no, probably not something is out in core right now. Maybe as a future plugin?
@willnorris - I'm trying to proxy images from a third-party partner which are blocked by adblockers because the URL has ads in it. Those images are not ads, it's a poorly chosen name by the partner. I'm looking for a proxying/cache solution for URL rewriting or masking, so this would be a useful feature for instance.
Do you have any other option to achieve that ? Thanks !
reopening issue, as I have some ideas for how to implement aliases without too much complexity.
alias would be great for multiple baseURL for now we have to run several instances with different baseURL.
If you're using a proxy or caching server, you could potentially use rewriting rules to accomplish this. I'm doing this using IIS as a reverse-proxy to ImageProxy, and then a CDN service above that for distribution and additional caching. "https://yourdomain.com/500x,q75/yourwebsite/image.jpg" becomes "http://localhost:8080/500x,q75/https://www.yourwebsite.com/image.jpg"
