Node.js

Write a simple HTTP proxy for node.js. Check out candy-node for a complete solution.

var http = require('http');
	
http.createServer(function(request, response) {	

	if(request.url === '/http-bind/') {
		var proxy_request = http.request({
			host: 'yourhost.com',
			port: 5280,
			path: '/http-bind/',
			method: request.method
		});
		
		proxy_request.on('response', function(proxy_response) {
			proxy_response.on('data', function(chunk) {
				response.write(chunk, 'binary');
			});			
			proxy_request.on('end', function() {
				response.end();
			});
			response.writeHead(proxy_response.statusCode, proxy_response.headers);
		});
		
		request.on('data', function(chunk) {
			proxy_request.write(chunk, 'binary');
		});
		request.on('end', function() {
			proxy_request.end();
		});
	}
	
}).listen(80);
