URL-Bridge

URL-Bridge allows you to open URLs on another computer.

Server

The server should be run on the computer with the browser that you want to use.

Config

Edit server-conf.json with the following options:

`listen`

The port the server will listen on.

`sources`

An array of allowed client IP addresses.

Client

The client should be run on any computer which you want to open URLs from.

Config

Edit client-conf.json with the IP/Hostname and port of the server.

Misc

The server uses the following to open urls:

xdg-open on GNU/Linux based systems
explorer.exe on Windows systems
open on OSX systems

Two registry files are included, URLBridge-win7.reg and URLBridge-win8.reg which can be used to to register URLBridge as the default browser. For Windows 7 simply run the URLBridge-win7.reg file. For Windows 8 run URLBridge-win8.reg and then change your default browser - it will appear as a Node.js application in the browser list.

Both files assume that URL-Bridge is located at C:\URLBridge\ and that nodejs.exe is located at C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe. They can be edited if required to change the locations.

Todo

Encryption: Currently plain URLs are sent across the wire. Encryption should be added for security.
