We ended up forking the project to add additional error handling to the proxy. Because in the current implementation if proxy throws an error the server would just crash. https://github.com/dcos-labs/http-server |

Can the underlying library handle it's own validation, and we just surface any errors? I'd like to avoid duplicating other people's requirements (since they're likely to change over time).

I think we can pass stuff through without this boolean checking, so long as we handle errors from http-proxy in a user-friendly way.

@nLight would you be interested in submitting this as a PR? johntron@5aa9afd Did you add anything beyond that? |
|
@BigBlueHat you mean submitting the error handling to this repo? I can of course, though that still won't be sufficient for us without the secure flag. Also as you can see from the commit the logging solution is less then ideal. |

I'll open a PR and let's get the conversation started 👍 |

Can we please get this one merged and published? |

I really like this idea, and it would expose a ton of already-existing but hidden functionality! I'd like to drive for this to be in the next major release, if possible. There are some merge conflicts to address, though if you're too busy or no longer want to contribute here, I'd be willing to take over and make some of these changes before merging. Let me know though, I don't want to steal it from you if you want to work on it!

Given that there are/have been several issues and pull requests that will be solved by this, I think it's worth adding more to this, especially .secure false, which solves errors around self-signed certs (#214)

Closing in favor of #688 |
http-proxy library that is used in http-server support options.
This PR adds abilities to pass proxy options via cli or programmatically (helps in cases such like https://github.com/divhide/node-grunt-http-server)
Fixes #214, fixes #246
