ruder is a webserver that makes http requests for you, since you can't do it yourself. Like if you're a browser, and jsonP only allows GETs and CORS stops you from accessing other domains.
$ npm install
$ npm start
This is the only endpoint in the service. It requires the
Content-Type: application/json header. For example, if our service
is running on 4444, the following request would return the source of
google.com.
POST http://localhost:4444
Content-Type: application/json
{ "data": "GET https://www.google.com" }
As a curl, that's
$ curl -X POST http://localhost:4444 -H"Content-Type: application/json" -d'{"data":"GET https://www.google.com"}'
The header and body are optional; for example, a simple DELETE payload
could look like {"data": "DELETE https://www.google.com" }.
The ruder server parses that payload into a viable request and return
you the contents without the headers. If your payload is JSON, ruder
will also set the Content-Type headers automatically on its own
request. If it's not JSON, no Content-Type will be set, but in both
cases you're free to set your own.
For development, you may be interested in the following commands. The
-watch commands use nodemon and restart automatically after file
changes.
$ npm run start-watch
$ npm run test
$ npm run test-watch
