soerver

easy peasy http server with proxy capability bolted in.
it's essentially a cli wrapper around serve and http-proxy.

install

# use global install to serve any dir
# on your box
$> npm install -g soerver

usage

calling soerver w/o any options serves the current directory via http at port 4711.

$> cd /your/dir
$> soerver
🕺 at http://localhost:4711 for ./

you can optionally supply a different port and a specific dir for being served:

$> soerver -p 8080 -d ~/_tmp
🕺 for /Users/you/_tmp at http://localhost:8080

with proxy

if you want (parts of) an url to be proxied, first create a json file such as proxyrc.json anywhere on disk, according to the specs from https://github.com/http-party/node-http-proxy#options

// proxyrc.json
{
  "/nw": {
    "target": "https://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/",
    "secure": false, //yay, don't break on self signed certs
    "changeOrigin": true
  }
}

then pass that file to soerver:

$> soerver -x examples/proxyrc.json
🏎  proxy rules detected in examples/proxyrc.json!
🕺 at http://localhost:4711 for ./

now any request to http://localhost/nw gets proxied to https://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/:

$> curl http://localhost:4711/nw/$metadata
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
...
</service>
