Bearer Proxy

Bearer Proxy is a simple HTTP proxy server that adds an Authorization header to outgoing requests. This can be useful for testing or development environments where you need to forward requests with an authentication token.

Installation

To install Bearer Proxy from the NPM repository, run the following command:

npm install -g bearer-proxy

Usage

To start the proxy server, use the following command:

bearer-proxy --token <YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN> --target <TARGET_URL> [--port <LISTEN_PORT>]

Options

• --token, -t: (Required) The authentication token to be added to the Authorization header.
• --target, -u: (Required) The target URL to which the requests should be forwarded.
• --port, -p: (Optional) The port on which the proxy server will listen. Default is 8000.

Examples

bearer-proxy --token mysecrettoken --target http://example.com --port 8080

This command will start the proxy server on port 8080 and forward all requests to http://example.com with the Authorization: Bearer mysecrettoken header.

TOKEN=$(oc whoami -t)
TARGET=https://forklift-inventory-openshift-mtv.apps-crc.testing

bearer-proxy --token "$TOKEN" --target "$TARGET" --port 8080

INVENTORY_SERVER_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:8080

This example will add an Openshit bearer token to the forklift inventory service.
