abs-proxy v0.7.4

abs-proxy

HTTP proxying with ability to override existing routes or define new routes.

Usage

Require & instantiate

var absProxy = require('abs-proxy');

var proxy = absProxy.createAbsProxy({host: 'httpbin.org', port: 80});

As a proxy

Lets create a reverse proxy to httpbin:

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  proxy.dispatch(req, res);
}).listen(8080, 'localhost');

Note that default value for port is 80 and can be skipped from being included in the parameter hash for Proxy.

Override an existing path

GET

proxy.onGet('/', function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('Hello, world!\n');
});

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    proxy.dispatch(req, res);
}).listen(8080, 'localhost');

POST

proxy.onPost('/post', function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(201, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('You just posted!\n');
});

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    proxy.dispatch(req, res);
}).listen(8080, 'localhost');

Implement a new path

GET

proxy.onGet('/non-existant-path', function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('Hello, world!\n');
});

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    proxy.dispatch(req, res);
}).listen(8080, 'localhost');

POST

proxy.onPost('/non-existant-path', function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(201, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('You just posted!\n');
});

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    proxy.dispatch(req, res);
}).listen(8080, 'localhost');
