/etc/hosts based tiny reverse proxy.
You may sometimes run a web application on http://localhost:3000 during development, or
sometimes you may configure a local port forward on http://localhost:8080 with SSH to access web server behind firewalls.
Hosty loads your /etc/hosts and acts as reverse proxies to simplify the URLs.
It allows you to manage mappings of local server name and port on /etc/hosts.
$ gem install hostyRun:
sudo hostyIf you have lines below in your /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 internal.example.com internal # :8080
127.0.0.1 rails # :3000
Hosty accepts http://internal.example.com/foo locally and proxies it
into http://internal.example.com:8080/foo for example.
You can specify tls option at the end of each line:
127.0.0.1 internal.example.com internal # :8080 tls
Hosty accepts http://internal.example.com/foo and proxies into https://internal.example.com:8080/foo. Also, you can spacify 'verify_none' to skip server cert verification.
127.0.0.1 internal.example.com internal # :8080 tls verify_none
Note
The URL scheme in your browser is always 'http'.
