Sketch of an API for a javascript proxy layer

mlp.js

module.exports = ({ forward, listen, match, proxy, whenever }) => {
  // dokuwiki
  listen(80, () => {
    whenever(match('/'),
      forward('localhost', 8080)
    );
  });

  // pulp
  listen(24816, () => {
    forward('localhost', 24816);
  });

  // api for handling side effects, "embedded apps" etc
  /*
   * handle('pull some shenanigans', (req, res) => {
   *   // a side effect, basically
   * });
};
