I'm trying to setup an HTTPS server that proxies requests to changing targets that also enforce HTTPS. this is because I want to setup an intercepting https proxy, terminate ssl, modify data and send encrypted modifications to target server (or backwards through the response).
Example:
Browser --> myHTTPSProxy(modify request) --> https://targethost.com --> myHTTPSProxy(modify response) --> Browser
This is sample implementation for the task from the node-http-proxy library:
const https = require('https'),
fs = require('fs'),
colors = require('colors'),
httpProxy = require('http-proxy'),
httpsOpts = {
key: fs.readFileSync('agent2-key.pem', 'utf8'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('agent2-cert.pem', 'utf8')
};
// Create DUMMY HTTPS SRV
https.createServer(httpsOpts, function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
res.write('hello https\n');
res.end();
}).listen(3000);
// PROXY
httpProxy.createServer({
ssl: httpsOpts,
target: 'https://localhost:3000',
secure: false
}).listen(8080);
console.log('https proxy server'.blue + ' started '.green.bold + 'on port '.blue + '8080'.yellow);
console.log('https server '.blue + 'started '.green.bold + 'on port '.blue + '3000 '.yellow);
Certificates are also taken from the library, and I tried using valid ones as well that works on a straight https server but no as a proxy.
as a proxy - I get Secure Connection Failed.
TL;DR Question
Does anyone know how to implement a HTTPS proxy server using nodejs?
