This project implements a simple reverse proxy which distributes the requests according to the hostname.

We use it to build demonstrators on virtual machines running different servers of a distributed system.

The project is widely based on node-http-proxy

More information on EBU developments

Ensure your system has Node.js and NPM installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/ebu/http-reverseproxy.git
$ cd http-reverseproxy
$ npm install

Edit config.dist.js and rename it to `config.js to run the server

$ npm start

var config = {
  listening_port: 80,
  https: {
    listening_port: 443,
    key: '', // SSL Private key
    cert: '' // SSL Public certificate
  },
  backend_servers: [
    {
      'local_port': 8080,
      'origin_host': 'www.ebu.io'
    },
    {
      'local_port': 8081,
      'origin_host': 'bbc1.ebu.io'
    },
    {
      'local_port': 8082,
      'origin_host': 'bbc2.ebu.io'
    }
  ],
  fallback_port: 8090 | null,
  error_message: 'The system is down.\n\n2014 - EBU Technology & Innovation - ebu.io'
};

module.exports = config;

listening_port - Listening port of the reverse proxy

https - It enables SSL support on https.listening_port using the private key key and the public certificate cert

backend_servers - The request are distributed according to the origin_host to the local port.

fallback_port - If no backend_servers rules match the request, the request will be sent to this local port if different than null. Otherwise an error_message is returned with a status code 500.

error_message - Message sent in case of error (ie Backend server doesn't respond.)
