Break down the flow of an HTTP payload passing through both types of proxies sequentially

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

When an HTTP request is sent, it first reaches the forward proxy, which acts on
behalf of the client and forwards the request to the reverse proxy. The reverse
proxy receives the request, checks where it needs to go, and routes it to the
appropriate backend server. The server then processes the request and sends a
response back to the reverse proxy. From there, the response goes back through
the forward proxy and finally reaches the client. So, the overall flow is Client
→ Forward Proxy → Reverse Proxy → Server → Reverse Proxy → Forward Proxy →
Client.
