OVERVIEW

A simple node.js redirector and proxy application. Given a config file full of redirect and proxy mappings, this application will match incoming HOST headers and take the appropriate action by 301/302 redirecting or proxying.,ss

This is useful for redirecting www to root domains, redirecting old domains to new domains, proxying for SSL from non-SSL sources on AWS.

PREREQUISITES

node.js (v0.10.28 preferred)
npm (comes with node.js)

PREFLIGHT

mv ./config-json.dist to ./config.json
Update mappings for redirects/proxies based on your needs

As an example, if we wanted to setup a redirect to yourdomain.com from www.yourdomain.com, we would add the following block in config.json: "www.yourdomain.com": { "host": "http://yourdomain.com", "code": 301, "function": "redirect" }, (Note: The function setting can be either redirect or proxy)

RUNNING THIS APPLICATION

Simply run: node ./bin/server.js
