http-proxy-rulz

TL;DR

This is a reverse proxy, written in nodejs. Proxying rules are stored in a JSON file.

Description

Lately the node-http-proxy 1.0.x version has been released. Since then, the proxy rulz feature were removed from the API, that's why comes http-proxy-rulz, to fill the lack.

This is only a slight wrapper over node-http-proxy, providing an easy-to-use executable proxy file. The JSON file rulz are dynamically updated on file change.

Usage instructions are described below.

Usage

Basic usage after getting the sources:

npm install
./bin/proxy-server --table examples/simple-proxy.json

You can also retrieve it from the npm registry:

npm install -g http-proxy-rulz
proxy-server --table any-rulz-of-your-own.json
