Proxy-web

Proxy-web is a proxy that will proxy websites in your browser. It'll proxy all resources (css, images, scripts) as well, replacing the urls with the proxy url.

Example with express

import proxyWeb from 'proxy-web';
import express from 'express';

const app = express();

const proxyRoute = (req, res) => {
  console.log('Proxying', req.query.url);
  proxyWeb({
    url: req.query.url,
    method: req.method,
    headers: req.headers,
  }, {
    proxyUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/proxy?url=',
  }).then((output) => {
    res.status(output.statusCode)
       .set(output.headers)
       .send(output.body);
  });
};

app.get('/proxy', proxyRoute);
app.post('/proxy', proxyRoute);
app.put('/proxy', proxyRoute);
app.delete('/proxy', proxyRoute);

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log(`Listening on 3000`);
});
