Here is some code that works for me, as an example:
# Demo server requiring basic authentication
servAuth = require("http").createServer (req, res) ->
if auth = req.headers?.authorization
res.statusCode = 200
res.end "Good job, you sent '#{auth}'"
else
res.statusCode = 401
res.end "How about you authenticate first?"
servAuth.listen(8090)
# Proxy server which checks the IP address and then proxies the request
servProxy = require("http-proxy").createServer (req, res, proxy) ->
checkIP req, (err, isOK) ->
# something wrong happened even with the IP address checking
if err
res.statusCode = 500
res.end "Sorry, everything got fargled", "ascii"
# IP address not allowed
else if not isOK
res.statusCode = 403
res.end "You ain't from around here, are you?", "ascii"
# all good, proxy the request with basic auth added
else
userPass = new Buffer("#{process.env.USERNAME}:#{process.env.PASSWORD}", "ascii")
userPass = userPass.toString("base64")
req.headers.authorization = "Basic #{userPass}"
proxy.proxyRequest req, res, {
host: "localhost"
port: 8090
}
servProxy.listen(8080)
# asynchronous IP address checking
checkIP = (req, done) ->
# TODO: implement whatever custom IP checking
# this example just says everything is OK
done( null, true )
