@bpanel/curl v0.0.1

curl

This plugin runs entirely on the server and has no views.

It adds a new API endpoint with the shape...

/curl/:host?path=<path>

Example usage from the @Bpanel/price plugin:

http://localhost:5000/curl/cex.io?path=api/ticker/BCH/USD

...and fetches JSON API data from the requested URL. This helps bypass CORS issues for plugins (such as price and price-widget) that need access to "arbitrary" servers on the internet.

Currently we require custom branches of bcurl and brq that allow more flexibility than usual. If those branches get merged into master we can remove the custom dependencies:
