devproxy

A reverse proxy for simple local development that can route paths to different remote targets.

This can be useful in cases where you are developing a webapp that needs to make requests to an API that should look like it's on the same host.

Warning

This is intended for local development only. It should not be used in production.

Installation

go install github.com/seanpfeifer/devproxy@latest

Usage

# Set up the reverse proxy to listen on port 9090 (8080 default)
# Proxy /api/* to the local server on port 9191
# Proxy all other paths to the local server on port 9595
devproxy -port 9090 -proxy /api/->http://0.0.0.0:9191 -proxy /->http://0.0.0.0:9595

Options

Option	Description	Default
-port	The port to listen on	8080
-tls	Whether to generate a self-signed certificate for TLS	false (no HTTPS)
-proxy	A proxy rule in the form of /path/to/thing->target

Note

Using a self-signed certificate for HTTPS connections will cause your browser to show a warning. The connection is still encrypted, but the browser cannot verify the identity of the server.

Potential Future Features

• Support for HTTPS via generating a self-signed cert
• Loading config from a file
