tcpip-mon

This is a simple proxy that logs TCP/IP REST requests and responses before forwarding. It currently only supports JSON inputs and outputs. It's implemented as a CLI, and it takes in the following inputs...

• localPort: The port that this CLI proxy will listen to on the local machine.
• destinationUrl: The location of the REST API where we want inputs and outputs logged.

Installation

To install, you need to have npm installed. This was tested on Node v17.0.1 and NPM 8.1.0. Once you have NPM, run the following: npm install -g @jlarge11/tcpip-mon.

Usage

tcpip-mon <localPort> <destinationUrl>. When you're finished, just use Ctrl-C.

Publishing a new version

To publish a new version, run ./deploy <versionType>, where versionType is major, minor, or patch. Only the jlarge11 account on npmjs.com is authorized to publish. This script will do the following...

• Modify, commit, and push the version change to package.json and package-lock.json.
• Create and push a tag for the new version.
• Publish the new version to NPM under @jlarge11/tcpip-mon.
