How do I use node.js http-proxy for logging HTTP traffic in a computer?

Solution 1
Here is an simple example how to log requests. I use a similar to log all my domains to one database.
I copied much from http://blog.nodejitsu.com/http-proxy-middlewares (archived)
var fs = require('fs'),
http = require('http'),
httpProxy = require('http-proxy'),
logger = function() {
// This will only run once
var logFile = fs.createWriteStream('./requests.log');
return function (request, response, next) {
// This will run on each request.
logFile.write(JSON.stringify(request.headers, true, 2));
next();
}
}
httpProxy.createServer(
logger(), // <-- Here is all the magic
{
hostnameOnly: true,
router: {
'example1.com': '127.0.0.1:8001', // server on localhost:8001
'example2.com': '127.0.0.1:8002' // server 2 on localhost:8002
}
}).listen(8000);

I am not sure if this helps because the posted information are really short. But I found a post that they updated the api ...

I am trying to implement the simplest example:
var http = require('http'), var httpProxy = require('http-proxy'); httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) { // // I would add logging here // proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, { host: 'www.google.com', port: 80 }); }).listen(18000);
When I configure my browser to use this proxy and I navigate to www.google.com I receive no response. What is that I am doing wrong?

Ayush Goel over 6 yearsThis doesn't work anymore, as now it is mandatory to pass some kind of a target or a forward field in the options. Running the above code gives me Must provide valid url for Target.
