host sub domain

[Agamennon]

This simple proxy server

    var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');
     httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) {
     var options = {
           host: "localhost",
           port: 5984
         };
      proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, options);
     }).listen(5000);

if i change host:"localhost" to host:"subdomain.domainoninternet.com"
if get 'Host not found' back, is this the "www . host" issue? #150

on a related question, is there a way to set request headers before they are sent to destination? (to set Auth headers from the server)

thank you

About the request headers: you have access to the req object passed into the httpProxy.createServer function.

It works for me on master - what domain are you trying to use? Note that it will use the 'Host' header from the original request. (Hopefully this will change soon, so you can just specify "changeOrigin: true" to fix things.)

http://mydomain.cloudant.com

[coderarity]

I see! Let me look into it.

[coderarity]

It seems like it's not related to #150.

[coderarity]

Oh - you're not using the "http" in your options.host, are you? It should look like this.

    var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');

     httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) {

     var options = {

           host: "mydomain.cloudant.com",

           port: 5984

         };

      proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, options);

     }).listen(5000);

(which works for me)

i am using host: "mydomain.cloudant.com/mydb" and it is not working
if i use that url on the browser i get the expected couchdb response, but node proxy just freezes this request and never comes back

if a try a different couchdb host like iriscouch (host: "mydomain.iriscouch.com"), i get back a "Host not found" if i qualify it like host:"mydomain.iriscouch.com/mydb" i get the same as the first problem

[coderarity]

When I go to mydomain.cloudant.com/mydb in my web browser it gives me a 503 error. The "Host not found" error, however, is probably related to #150. I fixed that issue in my pull request here, #231, if you want to try to use my branch and see if it fixes the problem.

Looks like this should be fixed from the PR from @coderarity

[pulkitsinghal]

@indexzero I'm not quite sure how this was fixed, I still can't get a similar proxy usecase to run:

proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, {
  host: 'domain.iriscouch.com',
  port: 80
});

FYI, here is how I was able to get this working:

var proxy = new httpProxy.RoutingProxy({changeOrigin : true});

var routingOptions = {
    host : 'mydomain.cloudant.com',
    port : 80
};

Non-obvious, but it works.

Anyone point me to how to fix up mine?

I am running multiple domains off one machine using this proxy, one domain with SSL, the others without.
My current implementation is: https://gist.github.com/brutalhonesty/fe66bf64f95f9d3ccb2d

Can you tell me what I need to do to get the 'status' subdomain working?

Thanks!
