Node http-proxy and express

Question

I\'m trying to do something like this:

// Setup prox to handle blog requests
httpProxy.createServer({
    hostnameOnly: true,
    router: {
        \'http://         


        

Answer 1

A very straightforward solution which works seamlessly, and with cookies/authentication as well, using express-http-proxy:

var proxy = require('express-http-proxy');

var blogProxy = proxy('localhost/blog:2368', {
    forwardPath: function (req, res) {
        return require('url').parse(req.url).path;
    }
});

And then simply:

app.use("/blog/*", blogProxy);

I know I'm late to join this party, but I hope this helps someone.
