Localhost HTTP Proxy with Node.js

08 March 2022

Contents

    An localhost HTTP proxy is useful for debugging and can be easily defined using Node.js by installing http-proxy

    yarn add http-proxy

    And then adding the following to an index.js file:

    index.js

    const httpProxy = require('http-proxy')

const target = 'http://my-target-website.com:1234'

httpProxy.createProxyServer({ target }).listen(8080)

    Which will create a server that listens on 8080 and will proxy requests to the target
