How to use laravel as proxy files between systems?

I need you help to find a way to be a 'proxy' between the frontend and a third-party software component using Laravel.

The third-party software it is in my company's network and it generate the files on-demand. For sample, If i hit against http://mycompany-third-party.com/12/csv, It will read the data from their database and delivery it to download as response (in this case a csv file).

But I can't allow the users reach out the third-party endpoint directly, so I want to use laravel(guzzle) to ask the file to the third-party and then redirectly to the specific client without store it in my local disk.

How can i do something like this using laravel/guzzle or other library?

Here is my best guess:



 $response = Http::withOptions(['stream' => true])->withHeaders([
            'X-Metabase-Session' => $this->token,
       ])->post('http://mycompany-third-party.com/12/csv');

        $headers = $response->headers();

        return response($response->getBody())->withHeaders($headers);

Hey Guys I study more and I have found a solution. To to this we need to use the Streamed Downloads.

Here is my answer:


        $response = Http::withOptions(['stream' => true])->withHeaders([
            'X-Metabase-Session' => $this->token,
        ])->post(your-3th-url);


        return response()->streamDownload(function () use ($response) {
            echo $response->getBody()->getContents();
        }, 'fileName.extType');

see you.
