Freeway

A reverse proxy webserver

Freeway has the following configuration settings that are stored in a couchdb document called settings.

{
  "default": "http://internal.server.com", // your internal servers or load balancers
  "tokens": ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
}

Any request that comes into the server without a token in the header that matches the configured tokens will bounce to the default server. Any request that comes into the server with a matching token will bounce to the host header in the request.

Install

npm install freeway -g

Usage
