Rewrite response headers with node-http-proxy

问题

I'm using node-http-proxy and want to watch for a particular response header and rewrite it if necessary. Anyone here have suggestions on to do this?

My proxy server sits in front of a couple different node servers as well as a java webapp. The java app is setting a cookie, but the cookie has a path that is relative the the webapp's context. I need the cookie to be secure and have a path to root without modifying the Java application.

In other words, the following header is returned:

set-cookie: MYSPECIALCOOKIE=679b6291-d1cc-47be; Path=/app; HttpOnly

And I'd like to rewrite the Path value to:

set-cookie: MYSPECIALCOOKIE=679b6291-d1cc-47be; Path=/; HttpOnly; Secure

I'm not clear how I would do this using node-http-proxy. Suggestions? Is there middleware to help with this?

回答1:

You can achieve this by overloading the writeHead function of the response object. For example, this code will set the 'foo' response header to the value 'bar'. I've indicated where you can add your own logic to change the header values.

JavaScript is not my primary language, so there may be a more idiomatic way to overload the writeHead method.

httpProxy = require('http-proxy');

httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) {

  res.oldWriteHead = res.writeHead;
  res.writeHead = function(statusCode, headers) {
    /* add logic to change headers here */
    var contentType = res.getHeader('content-type');
    res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/plain');

    // old way: might not work now
    // as headers param is not always provided
    // https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/pull/260/files
    // headers['foo'] = 'bar';       

    res.oldWriteHead(statusCode, headers);
  }

  proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 3000
  });
}).listen(8000);

I didn't test this code, but it should allow you to edit your header before sending the request. Let me know if it works.

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

var server = httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) {
  var buffer = httpProxy.buffer(req);
  req.headers['x-host'] = process.env.PROXY_URI;
  proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, {
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 9000,
  });
});
