Requests come into publicPort and are sent to apiPort or handlebarPort

node proxy

var http          = require('http'),
    httpProxy     = require('http-proxy'),
    publicPort    = 8000,
    handlebarPort = 8080,
    apiPort       = 8888

httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) {

  if (req.url.match(/\.json$/)) {
    proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, {
      host: 'localhost',
      port: apiPort
    });
  }
  else {
    proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, {
      host: 'localhost',
      port: handlebarPort
    });
  }

}).listen(publicPort);
