Webpack / Angular CLI / Proxy forwarding

Question

I need to setup a proxy within AngularCLI / Webpack env to forward requests from http://localhost:4200/rest to https://someserver.com/somepath/rest

For one, the endpoint is a https and not a http.

Secondly, the request url could be http://localhost:4200/rest/foo or ...:4200/rest/bar and all and any of the paths coming after '/rest' need to be mapped to https://someserver.com/somepath/rest/foo or ...com/somepath/rest/bar

The following proxy.conf.json doesn't seem to be configured properly:

"/rest": {
 "target": "https://someserver.com",
 "changeOrigin": true,
 "ws": true,
 "pathRewrite": {
 "^/rest/": "/somepath/rest/"
 },
 "secure": false,
 "logLevel": "debug"
 }

The app is started with

ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json --live-reload --host 0.0.0.0

Thanks!

Answer 1

you should change your pathRewrite

 "/rest/": {
 "target": "https://someserver.com/somepath/rest/",
 "changeOrigin": true,
 "ws": true,
 "pathRewrite": {
 "^/rest/": "/"
 },
 "secure": false,
 "logLevel": "debug"
 }
