From f0f0dc535fc87575418b145e3b3d6b0d32416a07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Zhang Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:37:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Fix: Replace URL modification with header forwarding MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Remove buildBackendURL() function entirely (~25 lines removed) - Replace with clean header forwarding approach (~10 lines added) - Forward X-Original-Path and X-Original-Query headers for all methods - Keep backend URL unchanged (no path/query modification) - Remove obsolete TestBackendURLBuilding test This is the clean approach for proxyd->protect-rpc communication: - proxyd handles HTTP routing and forwards context via headers - protect-rpc reads ONLY from headers, never from request URL - No config changes needed (headers are automatically forwarded) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- backend.go | 29 ++++++++--------------- backend_test.go | 62 ------------------------------------------------- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-) diff --git a/backend.go b/backend.go index 064bd4f..bb047b1 100644 --- a/backend.go +++ b/backend.go @@ -676,23 +676,6 @@ func (b *Backend) ForwardRPC(ctx context.Context, res *RPCRes, id string, method return nil } -// buildBackendURL constructs the backend URL for forwarding requests. -// Only eth_sendRawTransaction uses URL parameters for MEV protection configuration. -// TODO: Remove when API gateway handles protocol translation at the boundary. -func buildBackendURL(baseURL string, rpcReqs []*RPCReq, ctx context.Context) string { -
