butter-proxy

$ npm install -g butter-proxy
$ butter-proxy

Uses netstat to automatically find running servers and then passes requests to hosts matching the folder name of the server to the correct port.

For instance, a request to www.resume.pxy would be passed to port 3000 assuming a process in ~/src/resume/www is listening on port 3000.

1. butter-proxy is installed and run on port 8080
2. A server is started on port 5050 in ~/src/some-thing
3. butter-proxy sees the server automatically and informs us
4. A request is made with a host matching the directory, some-thing.pxy
5. butter-proxy passes the request to port 5050
6. The server on port 5050 is taken offline with a handy ^C
7. butter-proxy promptly informs us the host name is no longer active

Options

• Change the port with butter-proxy -p 8080
• Change the base directory (what isn't included in the domain) with butter-proxy -b ~/code. By default this is ~/src
• Change the TLD with butter-proxy -t dev. By default this is pxy
