Readme
If you are on the road, behind fifteen firewalls, and want to share some web application you're developing locally, or just share a set of files with someone real quick; this tool will do the job!
http-tunnel
will either forwarding incoming connections to a locally running webapp, or serve the current working directory (with an optional directory listing as well, if you don't have an index file) through an adhoc express instance.
And yes, it supports WebSockets.
$ npm install -g http-tunnel
$ mkdir somefolder
$ cd somefolder
$ echo hi > file.txt
$ http-tunnel --server pub.2x.io -d -s
This will create a tunnel through a public url, such as http://foofy.pub.2x.io
and serve the content of the somefolder
directory (the -s
argument), along with a directory index (-d
).
And if you want to use a custom hostname, try -i foobar
, or anything else to your liking. That would e.g. result in http://foobar.pub.2x.io
. If the name is currently available, it'll be serving you.
$ http-tunnel --server pub.2x.io -p localhost:8080
This will create a tunnel through a public url, such as http://foofy.pub.2x.io
and proxy requests to and from port 8080 (the -p
argument).
The demonstration server, pub.2x.io
, is at the moment rate limited. Should you wish a higher bandwidth permanent solution, get in touch with me for pointers.
This can be hosted on any server, but really ought to be one with a wildcard dns pointed to it. In case of the testserver above, it is running HAProxy with an SSL terminator in front. If you're curious about the HAProxy config, leave an issue or drop me an email.
