Even simpler with pipe
and request
-Package
var request = require('request');
app.use('/api', function(req, res) {
var url = apiUrl + req.url;
req.pipe(request(url)).pipe(res);
});
It pipes the whole request to the API and pipes the response back to the requestor. This also handles POST/PUT/DELETE and all other requests \o/
If you also care about query string you should pipe it as well
req.pipe(request({ qs:req.query, uri: url })).pipe(res);
