Proxy Server

This Proxy Server is a simple proxy server that can be used to forward HTTP requests to a target server. The proxy server is designed to receive a header with the request called x-target-url, which specifies the target server to proxy to.

Usage

To use the proxy server, send an HTTP request to the proxy server with the x-target-url header

Method: / HTTP/1.1
Host: http://localhost:8080 OR https://proxy-7fuy.onrender.com
x-target-url: http://www.example.com

Axios Example

const axios = require('axios');

const url = 'http://localhost:8080'; // or https://proxy-7fuy.onrender.com
const targetUrl = 'http://www.example.com';

axios({
  method: 'get',
  url: url,
  headers: {
    'x-target-url': targetUrl
  }
})
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

This request will forward the request to http://www.example.com and return the response to the client.

You can use the proxy server locally by running the server on your own machine, or you can use the online version hosted at https://proxy-7fuy.onrender.com.
