Example of proxying http requests with meteor.

instructions:

• Run the http-server meteor project on port 4000. This http-server responds to any HTTP calls:

• GET - replies with the request headers as JSON
• POST - echoes back the JSON in the post body
• PUT - returns 200
• DELETE - returns 200

cd http-server; meteor --port 4000

2. Run the meteor-proxy. This will proxy requests to the http-server. It includes a simple gui that will send GET and POST requests through it.

cd meteor-proxy; meteor

• Open a web browser to http://localhost:3000.
• Press the "GET" button to send a HTTP GET request through the proxy (verify that it shows up on http-server)
• Press the "POST" button to send a HTTP POST request through the proxy (verify that it shows up on http-server)

You can also use any HTTP client such as curl or postman to exercise these endpoints:

• http://localhost:3000/GetProxy (returns the HTTP request headers as JSON)
• http://localhost:3000/PostProxy (returns the JSON sent in the body of POST back)
