This project is a Node.js HTTP proxy server that enables cross-domain API requests from browsers by injecting Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers into HTTP responses. It functions as a reverse proxy gateway and header manipulator, allowing for the interception and modification of traffic between a client and a target server.
The proxy provides mechanisms to bypass browser same-origin policy restrictions through automated header injection. It includes capabilities for origin-based rate limiting and request interception to control traffic flow and prevent unauthorized usage of the proxy service.
The system covers broad capability areas including request and response header modification, origin domain filtering via whitelists or blacklists, and the ability to route outgoing requests through intermediate proxy tunnels. It also handles recursive redirect resolution to retrieve final destination content and URLs.
