Dynamic proxy change during runtime

[kettanaito]

Issue details

I would like to know whether it is possible to change BrowserSync proxy option on runtime. My research brought me here. However, the mentioned example does not seem to be working, created instance of BrowserSync doesn't have subscribe and setOpion methods.

Please specify which version of Browsersync, node and npm you're running

• Browsersync [ 2.18.8 ]
• Node [ 5.12.0 ]
• Npm [ 3.8.6 ]

Affected platforms

• [x] OS X

  Browsersync use-case

• [x] Gulp

BrowserSync usage (Gulp):

const browserSync = require('browser-sync').create('My project');

...

gulp.task('serve', () => {
    browserSync.init({
        proxy: 'localhost',
        port: 8080,
        files: baseDir,
        open: false,
        middleware: [
            // custom middleware to change proxy address depending on URL
            (req, res, next) => {
                const languages = ['en', 'de', 'pl'];
                const channel = req.url.match(/(?!\/)(\w+)(?=\/)/);

                if (channel && languages.indexOf(channel[0]) != -1) {
                    const target = `${channel[0]}.hippo.local`;
                    // should change `proxy` option here
                    browserSync.setOption('proxy', existing => target);
                }

                next();
            }
        ]
    });
});

Would be thankful for help whether this is possible to achieve. Thank you.
