+//! A simple reverse proxy, to be used with [Hyper].
+//!
+//! The implementation ensures that [Hop-by-hop headers] are stripped correctly in both directions,
+//! and adds the client's IP address to a comma-space-separated list of forwarding addresses in the
+//! `X-Forwarded-For` header.
+//!
+//! The implementation is based on Go's [`httputil.ReverseProxy`].
+//!
+//! [Hyper]: http://hyper.rs/
+//! [Hop-by-hop headers]: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html
+//! [`httputil.ReverseProxy`]: https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httputil/#ReverseProxy
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! Add these dependencies to your `Cargo.toml` file.
+//!
+//! ```
+//! [dependencies]
+//! hyper-reverse-proxy = "0.3.0"
+//! hyper = "0.12.24"
+//! futures = "0.1"
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The following example will set up a reverse proxy listening on `127.0.0.1:13900`,
+//! and will proxy these calls:
+//!
+//! * `"/target/first"` will be proxied to `http://127.0.0.1:13901`
+//!
+//! * `"/target/second"` will be proxied to `http://127.0.0.1:13902`
+//!
+//! * All other URLs will be handled by `debug_request` function, that will display request information.
