This example demonstrates a custom HTTP proxy server that intercepts requests and serves local files or forwards traffic to a remote target. The code uses Node.js’s `http` module and the `http-proxy` library to create a server listening on port 5050. It checks the request URL for specific paths like `/package/http-proxy` or `/local.css` to stream local HTML or CSS files via `fs.createReadStream`. All other requests are proxied to `https://www.npmjs.org` using `proxy.web(req, res, { target })`, showing conditional routing and file serving alongside proxying.

This example demonstrates a multi-domain HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy server built with Node.js and the `http-proxy` module. It routes incoming requests to distinct backend applications based on the requested hostname, with separate configurations for `www1.localhost` and `www2.localhost`. The server uses `crypto.createCredentials` for HTTPS SNI callbacks, enabling per-domain TLS certificates. Each backend app, defined in separate files like `www1_app.js`, responds with a plain-text message confirming the successful proxy and echoing request headers, illustrating how the proxy handles both HTTP and HTTPS traffic across multiple virtual hosts.

This example implements a SOCKS5 proxy server in Node.js, demonstrating the TCP connection flow between a client, proxy, and destination. It shows the handshake, authentication (using USERPASS), and request forwarding stages. The code uses the `net` module’s `createServer` and `createConnection` APIs to handle incoming sockets and outbound TCP links, with buffer manipulation for parsing SOCKS5 headers, address types (IPv4, domain, IPv6), and ports. All connections are accepted, authorized, and relayed, though the `authorize` function always returns true.

This visualization demonstrates an nginx configuration for proxying requests to a Node.js application running on port 8001. It shows the setup of an upstream server group named "node" and a server block listening on port 80, with access logging enabled. The code specifies root directory paths and includes fastcgi parameters while using proxy_pass to forward requests to the upstream. The example relies on nginx’s built-in HTTP proxy and FastCGI modules, with no external JavaScript libraries or rendering APIs involved.

This example demonstrates how to configure a Node.js HTTPS server with Server Name Indication (SNI) to serve multiple SSL certificates for different hostnames. It shows the setup for routing requests to distinct backend ports using the http-proxy library, with an SNICallback that selects the appropriate certificate context based on the incoming hostname. The code uses Node.js core `crypto.createCredentials` and `fs.readFileSync`, along with a custom `getCABundle` function that parses a bundled certificate file into an array by splitting on the `-END CERTIFICATE-` marker. It explicitly maps example-a.com and example-b.com to localhost ports 10000 and 10001.

This example demonstrates a lightweight Express server that acts as a CORS proxy for a joke API, enabling browser-based requests to bypass cross-origin restrictions. The code uses the `express` and `request` libraries to define a route, `/jokes/random`, which forwards requests to `https://joke-api-strict-cors.appspot.com/jokes/random` and relays the JSON response back to the client. A middleware sets the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header to `*`, allowing any frontend to access the proxied data. The server listens on a configurable port, defaulting to 3000, and handles errors by returning a JSON error object. This setup illustrates a simple server-side solution for enabling client-side data fetching from a restricted external source.

This example demonstrates a Node.js utility that asynchronously fetches the HTTP status code for a given URL. It first reads a text file using the `fs.readFile` method to extract a domain or URL from its first line, then passes that address to the `request` library’s `getStatusCodeAsync` function, which returns the server’s response code. The visualization shows how file I/O and network requests are chained through callbacks, highlighting the flow of data from local storage to remote servers without any graphical rendering.

forward socks5 to http/https

The example demonstrates how to route HTTP and HTTPS traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy by chaining command-line tools, using a shell script to install and configure Privoxy. It shows the setup steps: installing Homebrew via Ruby, installing Privoxy, editing its config file to add the `forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:1080 .` rule, starting the service with `brew services`, and exporting `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` environment variables. The visualization relies on the `curl` command, Ruby’s `-e` flag, and the `vim` editor, with the final proxy URL visible in the environment variable assignments.

Read File or HTTP

This example demonstrates a small utility for reading text content from either a local file or a remote HTTP URL, abstracting the source so callers can use a single `get` function. The code shows a Node.js script that checks the URL protocol: if it starts with `http:`, it uses the `http.get` method to stream the response, collecting data chunks and joining them as a UTF-8 string; otherwise, it falls back to `fs.readFile` with a `"utf8"` encoding. Both paths invoke a callback with either an error or the resulting body, making the helper suitable for loading data files or web resources in server-side visualizations.
