URL PATH - [feature]

[davideareias1]

Hi, i have been experimenting with this package and it's really good.

The only issue im having is that there is no default url option.

For example in order to work the url should look like this:
http://localhost:8080/proxy/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

but if we specified something like default_url: "https://www.youtube.com/"
then the proxy could handle the url like this:
http://localhost:8080/proxy/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

I'm not sure how hard this would be to implement, but this would be game changer for my project.

Thank you for your attention!

Oh, that's an interesting idea.

However, it might be pretty difficult to implement. The way the proxy is built, it uses the URL path pretty heavily to determine where to load other assets from, and it has logic to figure out the correct URL when something is missing the domain portion. Having a default URL would interfere with that recovery logic.

That said, for youtube specifically, you could just about use the YouTube example without the proxy - just wire it up to a plain node js server and add your own logic to handle the URL.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

At the moment im trying to run 2 servers

1. server is the youtube example
2. server is an iframe to the 1st server

This way i could implement some logic behind server 2 to show the currect url.

The problem is that im having a bunch of issues with cors the iframe cannot access the server 1 without breaking the unblocker middleware.

i tried to change the cors policy like this:

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  // Website you wish to allow to connect
  res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');

  next();
});

app.use(
  unblocker({
    responseMiddleware: middlewareFunctions,
    prefix: '/store/'
  })
);

I found a simple fix.

in the file proxy.js after line 70 when you do:

    data.headers = _.cloneDeep(data.remoteResponse.headers);

i added after

    data.headers['access-control-allow-origin'] = '*';
    data.headers['x-frame-options'] = 'ALLOW-FROM *';

Hi @MrMachi9,

I created node unblocker, and davideareias1 is trying to use it.

I'm guessing somewhere along the line you hit the Watch button for node unblocker and set it to notify you of all activity on this project. The project doesn't get a ton of activity, so it may have been a while ago. If that's the case, then there should be an Unwatch button you can click on the upper-right-ish part of https://github.com/nfriedly/node-unblocker (You may have to log in first to see it.)

It should look like this, although maybe with the icons aligned correctly:

Click it and you'll stop getting all these emails.
