Simple proxy middleware for connect/express
Create an http app
/**
* Module dependencies
*/
var express = require('express');
var proxy = require('simple-http-proxy');
/**
* Expose the app
*/
var app = module.exports = express();
/**
* Mount the proxy middleware
*/
app.use('/api', proxy('http://my.other.host.com/path-to-proxy'));
Make the request
$ curl http://localhost:5000/api
<h1>Welcome to my.other.host.com/path-to-proxy</h1>
You can also specify some options as a second parameter
app.use('/api', proxy('http://my.other.host.com/path-to-proxy', opts));
cookies
Disable sending cookies by passing false
; on by deafult.
xforward
Setting this to true
will set x-forwarded-proto
, x-forwarded-host
, x-forwarded-port
and x-forwarded-path
headers.
Passing an object will override the header names:
{
proto: 'x-orig-proto',
host: 'x-orig-host',
port: 'x-orig-port',
path: 'x-orig-path'
}
timeout
A positive millisecond value for the timeout of the request. Defaults to 10000 (10s).
Setting it to false
will disable the timeout.
onrequest
A function to be called on each request. The first parameter will be the options object for the http request. The second will be the request object.
This can be used to change any of the http options for a given request.
onresponse
A function to be called on each response. The first parameter will be the incoming message for a given request. The second will be the server response object.
If this function returns true
the default pipe will not be used and will be up to the onresponse
function to implement that behavior. This is useful for rewriting responses that are sent to the client.
