pokie-mullet

Barebones HTTP proxy for Python-powered SPA applications - Mounts a Flask or Pokie application on a slug (/api by default) and proxies all other requests to a running HTTP server (such as a NodeJS dev server), or to a static SPA on a folder.

Static Serving

If a local folder is specified for frontend serving, mullet will always serve contents, even if the required resource doesn't exist. The behaviour is as follows:

• empty or non-existing routes are served as /index.html (or other index file name you may have specified);
• existing files are served as files (mimetypes is used to attempt to identify the correct mime type);
• existing directories are served as /index.html (or other index file name you may have specified);
