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

I got this working.

• Install Ghost and make sure it's working property (default port is 2368)
• Create your node web app using express (listen on port 80) - nothing special here
• Install node-http-proxy npm install http-proxy in your web app

• Create wildcard route for /blog* that proxies requests to Ghost service

  var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
  
  var proxy = new httpProxy.RoutingProxy();
  app.get('/blog*', function (req, res, next) {
    proxy.proxyRequest(req, res ,{
      host: 'moserlap.splitvr.com',
      port: 2368  
    });
  });
  

• Update the Ghost config to use a sub directory (only supported in 0.4.0+)

  config = {
    // ### Development **(default)**
    development: {
    // The url to use when providing links to the site, E.g. in RSS and email.
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1/blog',
  ...
  

• You should now be able to hit http://yoursite.com/blog and all routes work.
