Cors-proxy can be replace by simple nginx configuration

[Zorin95670]

Hi,

We use this library, for our open source project. And we find a way to not use cors-proxy, because they are SVE on some dependencies.

After investiguation and test, there is the nginx config that do the job :)

nginx.conf

events {
}

http {

  include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
  sendfile on;

  server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    location "/cors-proxy/" {
      resolver 8.8.8.8;
      proxy_hide_header WWW-Authenticate;
      rewrite ^/cors-proxy/(.*)$ $1 break;
      proxy_pass "https://$uri$is_args$args";
    }

    # not for cors-proxy but only to serve all css/js file
    location ~ \*.css {
      add_header  Content-Type    text/css;
    }

    location ~ \*.js {
      add_header  Content-Type    application/x-javascript;
    }

    location / {
      root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
  }
}

and the proxy configuration for the js code, exemple with git.clone:

git.clone({
    fs,
    http,
    url
    dir,
    onAuth: () => ({
      (...)
    }),
    corsProxy: '/cors-proxy',
    (...)
  }).then(() => saveProject(project));

Note that this is also a CORS Proxy. I personally use one created in PHP.
