I'm trying to proxy socket.example.com:4000
to a websocket server mydomain.com:3000
but the client can also connect to the server through *.example.com:4000
, It's like vhost
has no effect and the proxy configuration is set globally. I don't want other subdomains be proxied.
i use vhost and http-proxy-middleware
const options = {
target: 'http://example.com:3000',
changeOrigin: true,
ws: true
};
const wsProxy = createProxyMiddleware(options);
app.use(vhost('socket.example.com', wsProxy));
I didn't need vhost nor http-proxy-middleware. i used http-proxy and some vanilla javascript.
import httpProxy from 'http-proxy';
const proxy = httpProxy.createProxyServer({
target: {
host: 'example.com',
port: 4001
}
});
server.on('upgrade', (req, socket, head) => {
const domain = req.headers.host;
const host = domain.split(':')[0];
if (host === 'socket.example.com') {
proxy.ws(req, socket, head);
} else {
socket.destroy();
}
});
##Update## Running on the same server without proxy or dedicated websocket server.
import { Server } from "socket.io";
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const io = new Server(server, {
allowRequest: (req, fn) => {
const domain = req.headers.host;
const host = domain.split(':')[0];
fn(null, host === `socket.example.com`);
}
});
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log('a user connected');
});
