To start a proxying from port 9000
to 9001
run:
dev-proxy --proxy 9000:9001
To create multiple proxies run:
dev-proxy --proxy 8080:8443 --proxy 9080:9443
Start your web server on the source port (9000
in the example) and navigate to https://localhost:<target-port>
(https://localhost:9001 in the example). You'll get a warning because the certificate is self-signed, this is safe to ignore during development.
