Proxy servers play a vital role in managing and routing network traffic, offering solutions for load balancing, caching, and enhanced security.
Our proxy servers is meticulously designed to be lightweight, efficient, and highly customizable. It supports both HTTP and HTTPS protocols and comes equipped with features like keep-alive requests, logging, and robust CORS handling. Additionally, It allows you to use third-party APIs directly in the UI or AVgator® Studio, even if those APIs don’t support CORS or HTTPS.
Key Features
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Supports Windows, macOS, Raspberry Pi, and Linux.
HTTP and HTTPS Support: Handles both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
Keep-Alive Requests: Maintain uninterrupted connections automatically.
Configurable Logging: Supports logging to a file with rotation based on file size.
Dynamic Configuration Reloading: Automatically reloads configuration changes without restarting the server.
CORS Handling: Seamlessly handle cross-origin requests, preflight requests, and more.

"url": "https://192.168.254.227/cws/api/login"
},
"url": "https://192.168.254.227"
},
{
"prefix": "hosttwo",
"url": "http://192.168.254.203",
"autonomic": {
"heartbeat_url":
"http://192.168.254.203/api/?clientId=0d933545-fa6a-47fc-90de-0f20db9745ab"
}
}
],
"mode": "debug",
"log-file": "/var/log/proxy.log"
}Detailed Explanation of the Configuration
- mode: Specifies the mode of the application. It can be either debug or production . If not

- hosts: An array of host configurations. Each host configuration includes:
- prefix: The prefix for the host. Requests with this prefix will be proxied to the specified URL.
- auth: The authentication configuration. If the type is crestronHome , the token and url fields are required. crestronHome is a specific type of authentication used for Crestron Home systems.
- autonomic: The autonomic configuration. If specified, keepalive requests will be sent to the heartbeat_url every 20 seconds. autonomic refers to the Autonomic music server
- url: The URL to proxy requests to.
Running the Proxy Server
