How to

For now, this project is targetting Windows (personal needs).

Notes

This should work with node LTS (18.19.0 as of today).

This project was created in order for offshore colleagues to have a pass-through proxy running under the same port as local developers. With this, we can run the same project and set of settings on different computer configurations.

Certificates

1. Install mkcert.
2. Run mkcert -install

Usage

Install

Run npm i

Run

TL;DR: npm run start

Environment Variables

• process.env.FAKE_PROXY_PORT (default: 5000) - The port where the proxy will run.
• process.env.FAKE_PROXY_DEBUG (default: none) - If set to 'true', will output debug information.
• process.env.FAKE_PROXY_THROTTLE_MS (default: none) - If set, will throttle the response time in milliseconds.

Available scripts

• npm run start - Start the proxy on port 5000.
• npm run start:another-port - Start the proxy on port 5001.
• npm run start:debug:verbose - Start the proxy on port 5002 with verbose debug information.
• npm run start:slow - Start the proxy on port 5002 with a 10 seconds delay on every request.
