hiproxy is a lightweight web proxy tool based on Node.js. The primary purpose of hiproxy is to solve the problem of host management and reverse proxy needs of developers. For example, if you are working as a team and each of the developers in the team need a different proxy setting, you will no longer need to modify your hosts file or use a web server like Nginx as a reverse proxy. hiproxy extends the syntax of hosts file to support port numbers. Besides, hiproxy also supports configuration through a syntax similar to the Nginx configuration file. To develop your web projects in a local development environment, you’ll have to run a back-end server (such as a Node.js express application, or a Java SpringBoot application). As a front-end developer, you might not be familiar with the back-end technology stack, simply setting up the development environment can consume a lot of your time.
Features
- When you visit https pages with a self-signed certificate, your browser will raise security warnings
- One common way to modify the response header is to put a proxy as a “man in the middle”
- Although NGINX is a great tool to address all the above problems, when setting up NGINX, you’ll also modify your hosts file a lot to proxy the requests to a local NGINX service
- While developing your front-end projects locally, you might need to solve cross-domain and cross-origin resource sharing issues
- Debugging web pages locally
- Self-Signed Certificates
