dev-mirror

Simple mirror (proxy) server for private APIs testing. It will help you to keep private credentials out of build artifacts.

Features

• Remote server authentication
• Local server authentication
• Referrer spoofing (pretend that request came from target origin)
• CORS bypass
• HTTP proxy support
• Adds Access-Control-Expose-Headers to allow browser inspect headers.

Usage

From console

You only need to provide REMOTE_URI and optionally LOCAL_URI (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8080)

REMOTE_URI=http://localhost:8080/
LOCAL_URI=http://127.0.0.1:8081/

Via config (.env file)

Use environmental variables or .env file in working directory or pass it's location as first argument:

## Remote HTTP(S) server

# Remote server URI (preferred)
REMOTE_URI = https://username:pa$$w0rd@example.com:443/

# Or exploded URI
SERVER_SCHEME = https
SERVER_HOST = example.com
SERVER_PORT = 443
# Remote server HTTP Basic auth (optional)
REMOTE_USERNAME = user
REMOTE_PASSWORD = passw0rd

## Local HTTP server

# Local server URI (preferred)
LOCAL_URI = http://user:passw0rd@127.0.0.1:8080/
# Or exploded URI
LOCAL_HOST = 127.0.0.1
LOCAL_PORT = 8080
# Local server HTTP Basic auth (optional)
LOCAL_USERNAME = user
LOCAL_PASSWORD = passw0rd

# HTTP proxy (optional)
HTTP_PROXY = http://username:pa$$w0rd@example.com:1337/

Notes

Keep in mind that if you have local server authentication, you won't be able to send authentication details to a remote server through a mirror.

That means that configuration in which a remote server requires authentication and a mirror has no remote credentials but has local authentication is invalid. To fix this, add remote credentials (recommended), or disable local authentication.
