Handle redirection

[MarcAntoine-Arnaud]

Hello,

Do you think it's possible to add a redirection option for a path/subpath ?

Expected:

http --redirect /some:http://localhost:4000

Thanks,
Marc-Antoine

Kinda feels like something that you could solve by having nginx (or the likes) sitting in front of http.

HTML can contain a redirect as <meta http-equiv.
For more generic ones that match on large swathes of paths (like your example I assume is): use a rproxy. Otherwise this is homologous to header path filtering (which you by definition need to specify different redirects).

For development, it is really handy to be able to proxy some path, like http://tapiov.net/live-server/

Are wanting/expecting http to intercept that call when you try to load it in your browser? 🤔

I would love to be able to do:

http . --proxy=/api:https://myserver.com/api

Then, in the html file, any ajax call to /api would be forwarded without any CORS required.

This is really handy in development.

There are two important points:

• the Origin header should be set to the server, in my example, it should be myserver.com
• redirects should not be followed, and instead handled by the browser
