API Mate - HTTP Proxy

Usage

First, install Node.js. See the adequate version in package.json.

Get the source, set up the proxy and run it for the first time:

git clone https://github.com/mconf/api-mate.git
cd api-mate/proxy
npm install
node index.js

You should see:

Found configuration file .target.json, using it
Server started at localhost:8000, proxying to test-install.blindsidenetworks.com:80

The first time you run it, it will create a configuration file (.target.json) for you pointing to the default test server from Blindside Networks at test-install.blindsidenetworks.com:80. If you want to proxy the calls to a different server, set its address on .target.json.

Your proxy server will listen at localhost:8000, so all you have to do is point the API Mate to this address (and use the salt of your web conference server!):

As you make requests from the API Mate to your proxy, the proxy will print information of the requests it received. You will notice that the only request that is not proxied is join. In this case the user is redirected directly to the web conference server.
