hapi-bouncer

Transaprent proxy. Pipe raw http traffic from incoming http requests to remote endpoints.

Proxy like substack bouncy, but builded on top of hapi.

• Supports https, and configurations via node-config-loader
• Can be used as hapi plugin.
• Can log requests/responses and payloads.
• Can partially substitute resources by path: you can mount many resources to one endpoint.

Example:

site1.com is localhost 127.0.0.1

site2.com is external host.

Requests (https or http):

• site1.com proxyfied to http://localhost:8007
• site1.com/rest proxyfied to https://localhost:8008/rest-some
• site1.com/some proxyfied to http://site2.com/some
• site1.com/cas proxyfied to http://localhost:8008/cas

npm i -g hapi-bouncer
