API

Proxy(root|options)

Initializes a new Proxy server. root is the only required parameter. If you pass in a string, it will assign the string to root. You may also pass in an options object. Some options include:

var proxy = Proxy({
  root : __dirname,
  home : 'blog'
});

By passing in the home option, you will tell the proxy server that GET / will proxy to GET blog/.

Initializing Proxy will return an express app function, that you can use to set up additional configuration.

Running the tests

npm install
make test
