Proxit

Simple proxy server built on express / connect.

Installation

1. npm install -g proxit (may need to add "sudo" for Mac / Linux)

Configuration - Stand Alone

1. Create a configuration file in one of the following locations:

• a local .proxitrc or the first found looking in ./ ../ ../../ ../../../ etc.
• $HOME/.proxitrc
• $HOME/.proxit/config
• $HOME/.config/proxit
• $HOME/.config/proxit/config
• /etc/proxitrc
• /etc/proxit/config

1. Update the configuration file, e.g.:

{
   	"port": 9000,
   	"verbose": true,
   	"hosts": [{
   	    "hostnames": ["*"],
           "routes": {
               "/": "http://nodejs.org/"
           }
   	},{
   	    "hostnames": ["local.mycompany.com"],
   	    "routes": {
   	        "/": "/code/local.mycompany.com/"
   	    }
   	}]
   }

1. Start proxit by running proxit on the command line.

Configuration - Grunt

In your project's gruntfile.js, add a section named proxit.

grunt.initConfig({
    proxit: {
        dev: {
            options: {
                verbose: true,
                hosts: [{
                    routes: {
                        '/': 'http://nodejs.org/'
                    }
                }]
            }
        }
    }
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('proxit');

You can now start your dev configuration using grunt proxit:dev.

Configuration - Middleware (Connect / Express)

var proxit = require('proxit');

var config = {
    verbose: true,
    hosts: [{
        routes: {
            '/': 'http://nodejs.org/'
        }
    }]
};

express.use(proxit(config));
