sitex

SiteX

A HTTP server with support to Netlify's redirect and rewrite rules, custom headers, and basic auth.

Note: Since Netlify is a proprietary service. It's really hard to fully mimic Netlify's behavior. So most implementation here is based on guessing and intuition.

go get -u github.com/poga/sitex

Usage

Define the redirect rules with _redirects file.

# redirect / to test.json
/ /test.json 200

# 301 redirect
/foo /test.json

# query params
/bar id=:id /test-:id.json

# proxy
/google https://google.com 200

You can also define custom headers and/or basic authentication with _headers file.

# A path:
/test.json
  # Headers for that path:
  X-Frame-Options: DENY
  X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block

# basic auth
/something/*
  Basic-Auth: someuser:somepassword anotheruser:anotherpassword

Start SiteX server with sitex command.

$ sitex

Now you got a web server which:

• http://localhost:8080/ will render /test.json
• http://localhost:8080/test.json will render the file
• http://localhost:8080/foo will redirect to /test.json
• http://localhost:8080/bar?id=2 will render /test-2.json

CLI options

• dir: the directory you want to server. Default: current working directory.
• port: port to listen. Default: 8080.

Rules

Note: Custom header is a paid-only feature on Netlify.

See _headers and _redirects file in the example folder.

For detailed documents, see Netlify's redirect document and header document.
