REST API to forward http GET
requests to https
.
Modern browsers by defualt blocks XHR
to unsecured(http) URLs from secured(https) URLs. So, this is an API to forward http GET requests to https.
It is written in Node.js
using express
server. It is using REDIS database hosted on redis labs. It is deployed on wedeploy using docker
.
The idea came when I was working on a project using a certain API which was only in http. But I really liked that API and could not find any other method to forward it to https. So I made this tool to overcome this difficulty.
The API is deployed on following link - https://ohio-spooderman.wedeploy.io
API Description is in below image.
The data in POST request to Add Link is sent as
x-www-form-urlencoded
. Key value pair is 'link = {value}'.
