Hey Tim!
Sounds like what you're after is Substack's
Bouncy: https://github.com/substack/bouncy
I believe it will extract the HTTP headers from the raw TCP stream (which
you can use for authentication), then "bounce" the raw stream to another
TCP socket or remote endpoint.
>From the docs:
"`bounce(stream, opts={})` Call this function when you're ready to bounce
the request to a stream. The exact request that was received will be
written to stream and future incoming data will be piped to and from it."
I would inspect the headers and then either bounce to a local HTTP server
that sends 401/403 or else bounce to the "actual" HTTP servers if
authenticated.
Cheers,
Simon
