I have a nodeJS project for a front-end that connects to multiple micro services.When we do final deployments we actually deploy the built JS and HTML in a WAR file along with the backend.
However, for development we use the http-proxy-middleware so we are able to do quick changes and edits on the front-end and see the results.
Today though, I would like to be able to see the connections leaving NODE-JS and going towards our microservices.
Specifically, I want to tunnel them through fiddler ( which is an http proxy usually running on port 8888 ).
Does anyone know to do this?
I tried setting e.g. the following but it doesn't affect the outgoing connection:
npm config set proxy http://localhost:8888
Well, the answer to my problem is to use fiddler as a reverse proxy:
https://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/UseFiddlerAsReverseProxy
I came across it by accident partly. I thought maybe I can't intercept all requests, but I could set my endpoint as being fiddler.
I did that, and saw a response in fiddler from the Fiddler Echo Service.
It basically displays a page similar to:
