http-tunneling-proxy

http-tunneling-proxy

This is a simple, minimally modifiable HTTP tunneling proxy written in Node.js. It is based on a snippet available in the Node.js docs. The module exposes a single function and a CLI application for launching a local proxy. It is available on npm.

CLI

http-tunneling-proxy [--port p] [--host h]

This command will spawn a local HTTP tunneling proxy, bound to the specified port and hostname. Port defaults to 3030, while host defaults to 127.0.0.1.

API

createProxyServer([callback])

This method will return a fresh, unbound http.Server instance that can be bound via listen(). The callback function will be called at each request:

const proxyServer = createProxyServer(req => {
  console.log(`${req.method} ${req.url}`);
});
