tri-proxy

A simple development HTTP proxy for IBM TRIRIGA UX views.

tri-proxy is a node.js application that serves one or more TRIRIGA UX views from the local file system and proxies all other views files and ajax calls to a TRIRIGA server.

After the tri-proxy is started, it automatically opens the browser. The tri-proxy watch your view files as you work. Changes you make will cause the browser to do a full-page refresh.
