How to setup a simple nginx proxy

1. Install nginx: brew install nginx

2. Add the following to /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

   http {
     ...
     server {
       listen 1234;
       location / {
         proxy_pass http://localhost:5280;
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Launch nginx: nginx

This will setup a proxy that listens for requests on port 1234 and forwards them to http://localhost:5280.
