Forward a call to a webservice to another webservice?
- by Luhmann
If I have an https webservice behind a firewall on a machine (A) that I cannot access, but access to a machine on the same network (B), from where I can call the webservice on machine A.
What is the best way of talking with the webservice on machine A, from the outside via machine B (that I access via VPN)?
I can obviously create a service with a matching interface on machine B, and call the methods on the webservice on machine A, and return the result. But I fear for the overhead.
Is there another way? Can i somehow forward the request?
