Simple HTTPS proxy server

proxy_server.js

var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');
var url = require('url');

process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = '0';

var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.ssh/self_signed_key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.ssh/self_signed_cert.pem'),
};

var server = https.createServer(options, function(req, res) {
  var urlPath = url.parse(req.url).path;

  https.get(process.env.PROXY_TO + urlPath, function(gres) {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', gres.headers['content-type']);
    res.statusCode = gres.statusCode;
    gres.pipe(res);
  });
});

server.listen(3000, function() {
  console.log('on :3000');
});

Note: generate your certs with:

openssl genrsa 1024 > ~/.ssh/self_signed_key.pem
openssl req -x509 -new -key ~/.ssh/self_signed_key.pem > ~/.ssh/self_signed_cert.pem

Set the COMMON NAME to your domain name. Don't add the protocol or port.
