Super simple HTTP proxy with Node.js

httpProxy.js

var http = require('http');

var red   = '\u001b[31m';
var reset = '\u001b[0m';

var proxyServer = function (request, response) {
  var components = request.headers['host'].split(':');
  var options = {
    hostname: components[0],
    port: parseInt(components[1] || 80),
    path: request.url,
    method: request.method,
    headers: request.headers
  };
  console.log(request.url);
  var proxyRequest = http.request(options, function (proxyResponse) {
    proxyResponse.on('data', function (chunk) {
      response.write(chunk, 'binary');
    });
    proxyResponse.on('end', function () {
      response.end();
    });
    response.writeHead(proxyResponse.statusCode, proxyResponse.headers);
  });
  proxyRequest.on('error', function (e) {
    console.log(red + '[error]', options.hostname, request.url, e.message, reset);
  });
  request.on('data', function (chunk) {
    proxyRequest.write(chunk, 'binary');
  });
  request.on('end', function () {
    proxyRequest.end();
  })
};

http.createServer(proxyServer).listen(8080);
