HTTP Proxy using Connect and node-http-proxy

Question

I need a HTTP-Proxy to access an external API while I\'m developing to get around cross domain security restrictions.

I found some example code here: http://nthloop.

Answer 1

Local server is getting stuck because the middleware does not delegate handling of cases when the if condition fails further down the middleware chain :

The following should solve the problem :

  .use(function(req, res, next) {
    if (req.url.indexOf(endpoint.prefix) === 0) {
      proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, endpoint);
    } else next();
  })
