A nodejs proxy server e.g. https to http

proxy-server.js

// To start
// node proxy-server.js REMOTE_ADDR PORT
// REMOTE_ADDR the remote address. eg. https://my-secure-site
// PORT port number to listen


var http = require('http');
var request = require('request');
var url = require('url')

var REMOTE_ADDRESS = process.argv[2]
var PORT = parseInt(process.argv[3])

console.log(process.argv)
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  var remote = REMOTE_ADDRESS + req.url
  
  // request the file from a remote server
  var rem = request(remote);
  rem.on('response', function(response) {
    //res.writeHead(response.statusCode, { 'Content-Type': response.headers['content-type']});
    res.writeHead(response.statusCode, response.headers);
  });
  
  rem.on('data', function(chunk) {
    res.write(chunk);
  });
  rem.on('end', function() {
    res.end();
  });
});
server.listen(PORT, function(){
    //Callback triggered when server is successfully listening. Hurray!
    console.log("Server listening on: http://localhost:%s", PORT);
});
