@isomorphic-git/cors-proxy

This is the software running on https://cors.isomorphic-git.org/ - a free service (generously sponsored by Clever Cloud) for users of isomorphic-git that enables cloning and pushing repos in the browser.

It is derived from https://github.com/wmhilton/cors-buster with added restrictions to reduce the opportunity to abuse the proxy. Namely, it blocks requests that don't look like valid git requests.

Installation

npm install @isomorphic-git/cors-proxy

CLI usage

Start proxy on default port 9999:

cors-proxy start

Start proxy on a custom port:

cors-proxy start -p 9889

Start proxy in daemon mode. It will write the PID of the daemon process to $PWD/cors-proxy.pid:

cors-proxy start -d

Kill the process with the PID specified in $PWD/cors-proxy.pid:

cors-proxy stop

Configuration

Environment variables:

• PORT the port to listen to (if run with npm start)
• ALLOW_ORIGIN the value for the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' CORS header
• INSECURE_HTTP_ORIGINS comma separated list of origins for which HTTP should be used instead of HTTPS (added to make developing against locally running git servers easier)
