How can I add rewrite-rules?

[markusbrunner-design]

Like in the npm-server "web-server-rewrite" I really need http-rewrite-rules with regular expressions. But:

1. I really like your local-web-server
2. I can't get the web-server-rewrite to work because of problems with the execSync-Dependency

What for is this? It's especially for services which need to be rewritten to another url in local and live-environment, e.g.:

rewrites

 {
    "localhost": {
      "(.*)(/users/)(.*)": "http://myserver1.mw.domain.lan:10080/middleware1/$3",
      "(.*)(/auth/)(.*)": "http://myserver2.mw.domain.lan:10080/auth-service/$3"
    },
   "domain.de": {
    ...
   }
 }

This would be very helpful - and if you include the keyword "rewrite" in your descriptions, this would definitely boost your server-implementation!

Hey,

at first I wanna thank you for implementing this issue - that's really cool!

Unfortunately the current "configuration" isn't working for me, because I need port-numbers in my rewrite-rule: => "http://my.server.lan:10080/myservice/$1" but they are used via ":" for constants?

reproduced, fixing..

i found and fixed an issue regarding rewrite "to" addresses containing port numbers.. can you install 1.0.0-alpha.5 and try again please?

i successfully tested it with this rewrite rule: (all paths under /yeah successfully proxied)

$ ws --rewrite '/yeah/* -> http://localhost:9000/$1'

[markusbrunner-design]

the port-numbers are working now, great!

but it seems like the new rewrite-rule doesn't transfer the query string parameters - which is also necessary for my case and in general
