I'm currently working on a proxy server where we in this case have to modify the data (by using regexp) that we push through it.
In most cases it works fine except for websites that use gzip as content-encoding (I think), I've come across a module called compress and tried to push the chunks that I receive through a decompress / gunzip stream but it isn't really turning out as I expected. (see below for code)
figured i'd post some code to support my prob, this is the proxy that gets loaded with mvc (express):
module.exports = {
index: function(request, response){
var iframe_url = "www.nu.nl"; // site with gzip encoding
var http = require('http');
var httpClient = http.createClient(80, iframe_url);
var headers = request.headers;
headers.host = iframe_url;
var remoteRequest = httpClient.request(request.method, request.url, headers);
request.on('data', function(chunk) {
remoteRequest.write(chunk);
});
request.on('end', function() {
remoteRequest.end();
});
remoteRequest.on('response', function (remoteResponse){
var body_regexp = new RegExp("<head>"); // regex to find first head tag
var href_regexp = new RegExp('\<a href="(.*)"', 'g'); // regex to find hrefs
response.writeHead(remoteResponse.statusCode, remoteResponse.headers);
remoteResponse.on('data', function (chunk) {
var body = doDecompress(new compress.GunzipStream(), chunk);
body = body.replace(body_regexp, "<head><base href=\"http://"+ iframe_url +"/\">");
body = body.replace(href_regexp, '<a href="#" onclick="javascript:return false;"');
response.write(body, 'binary');
});
remoteResponse.on('end', function() {
response.end();
});
});
}
};
at the var body part i want to read the body and for example in this case remove all hrefs by replacing them with an #. The problem here of course is when we have an site which is gzip encoded/ compressed it's all jibberish and we can't apply the regexps.
now I've already tired to mess around with the node-compress module:
doDecompress(new compress.GunzipStream(), chunk);
which refers to
function doDecompress(decompressor, input) {
var d1 = input.substr(0, 25);
var d2 = input.substr(25);
sys.puts('Making decompression requests...');
var output = '';
decompressor.setInputEncoding('binary');
decompressor.setEncoding('utf8');
decompressor.addListener('data', function(data) {
output += data;
}).addListener('error', function(err) {
throw err;
}).addListener('end', function() {
sys.puts('Decompressed length: ' + output.length);
sys.puts('Raw data: ' + output);
});
decompressor.write(d1);
decompressor.write(d2);
decompressor.close();
sys.puts('Requests done.');
}
But it fails on it since the chunk input is an object, so i tried supplying it as an chunk.toString() which also fails with invalid input data.
I was wondering if I am at all heading in the right direction?
