Custom 404

If /path/to/foo does not exist, we will try:

  • /path/to/404.html

  • /path/404.html

  • /404.html

  • return 404 Not Found

Index Page

For /path/to/, we will try:

  • /path/to/index.html

  • 404.html (/path/to/404.html, /path/404.html, /404.html)

  • Directory Indexing

Trailing Slash

If /path/to is a directory, we will redirect to /path/to/.

Stop

Access /?stop to stop the server.

Limitations

  • Your browser must support File System Access API and Service Worker API

  • The target website can not use Service Worker API because it is already occupied

  • The target website can only be accessed in the same browser and session

TODO

This is just a toy that took a few hours, and more interesting features will be added later.

  • Tunnel (expose local server to the Internet)

  • P2P (HTTP over WebRTC)
