Example

var hoxy = require('hoxy');
var proxy = hoxy.createServer().listen(8080);
proxy.intercept({
 
  // intercept during the response phase 
  phase: 'response',
 
  // only intercept html pages 
  mimeType: 'text/html',
 
  // expose the response body as a cheerio object 
  // (cheerio is a jQuery clone) 
  as: '$'
}, function(req, resp) {
 
  resp.$('title').text('Unicorns!');
  // all page titles will now say "Unicorns!" 
});

Version 3.0

Hoxy has released version 3.0. This release simplifies the API and better supports ES6. Notable changes:

• A done callback is no longer passed as the third arg to interceptors. Interceptor arity is, accordingly, no longer a switch for async behavior. Rather, it solely depends on the return type of the interceptor (i.e. promises or iterators over promises).
• The third argument to interceptors is now the cycle object, === to this. This was based on a suggestion from @nerdbeere, with a view toward supporting arrow functions, in which this is lexical.
• The CLI has been completely removed from the project. The reasoning is that, by simplifying the project, I can more easily maintain it. If there's a need, it can be brought back as a separate npm module. Perhaps somebody else can take that on.
• Undocumented hoxy.forever() function goes away.
